    Great picture to put in monochrome, EG... I love trains --since my Dad worked for the railroad.

    Hugs,

    Boy, you had to be in the right spot at the right time for this one! Very good. I'll bet you planned this photo very carefully.

    I like the b&w, but if that's a red engine, I'd probably vote for color!

    I love train pictures!!!!!

    PS Thank you for the comments. We have general elections every fourth year, and our Parliament can't be dissolved. Our election is now our and the present government (a centre/left majority coalition) will Continue. The other parties were mostly a chaotic assemblage ranging from liberals via conservatives to literalistic populists of the most extreme kind.

    Aren't you lucky? You've been in the right time at the right place. The train is a nice subject for B/W.
