<p>Tough choice! Here's my words for the different competitors in order of appearance:</p><p><u><b>Jim:</b></u> Nice photo of classic Southern units, but the over-exposed nose doesn't do it for me. <b>7th choice.</b><br></p><p><u><b>Otto:</b></u> FL9s forever! I have a tough time voting when they enter the scene, and being from the east (and feeling lucky that finally, there's photos from the east and not the midwest!) doesn't make it any easier to decide! Nice shot! <b>4th choice.</b><br></p><p><u><b>Kathi:</b></u> Having recently photographed that same unit (and it's number 405, not 408), and it being another Eastern shot have made it a strong contender. The Alco smoke helped a lot too. If Andy hadn't posted such a beautiful photo, you may have gotten my vote. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit out east! <b>3rd choice</b>.</p><p>EDIT: Did you notice the Hancock Steam Whistle on the 405? It really surprised me when I heard it, and I got quite a few comments about it on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjxCZU13GSw" mce_href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjxCZU13GSw">video</a> of the unit. <br></p><p><u><b>Andy:</b></u> Amazing photo! For some reason, drab colors look best to me on old 1st Generation diesels hard at work, so that was a big factor in my vote for you. The bush in the foreground is a nice touch, as is the flanger (?) sign at left. 1st choice! <b>1st choice.</b><br></p><p><u><b>Alex:</b></u> Very nice shot. I'm still waiting for those pretty ol' E units to make their way up here! <b>5th choice.</b><br></p><p><u><b>Tom:</b></u> That shot can only be described as stunning! The low sunlight lighting up the front of the locomotive combined with the scenic Arizona desert gives you my <b>2nd choice</b>. Great shot.</p><p><u><b>Elrond:</b></u> Interesting framing! You were right, the elevators certainly make an interesting backdrop! <b>6th choice.</b><br></p>
