The photo could be used as a test to see if someone has the makings of a true railfan. If the candidate sees the railroad water tower first, that candidate is a true railfan or has the makings of a railroad fanatic. If the candidate only sees the woman fishing, there is no hope and he should forget about trains and subscribe to Field and Stream. I saw a railroad tank and quickly identified the photo location outside of Salida. I did not notice the fisherwoman at all until someone mentioned where to look.
