I liked the last picture of the six signal lights at two mile intervals going up the mountain. Without the caption, I would not have understood the significance of the picture, but after reading the caption, the scale of the scene, and many questions come to mind. What a thought provocing photo !

November Issue -Favorite Steinheimer photo

All the Seinhemer photos published in the November issue of TRAINS are outstanding, but of those in the article, what is your favorite, and more importantly, why?
For me, I chose the photo on page 56-57 of the helper engine at Saugus, CA.
This image captures the two qualities I like in a great train photograph. First, there is the massive steam engine: the big drivers, the crusty engine exterior, and the blasts of steam into night. Second, there is the human element. The two crew men are seen exchanging a good story and you can't help but wish you were there to hear the wild tale.
So what is your favorite of those pictured and why?
