All excellent photos, but I didn't feel any one stood out as significantly superior.  I'll abstain this time.

Went with Alex….even though it is a “wedge” shot, the location and background make it work, and it does show GE’s mainstay off quite well.

I went with Peter Clark's shot.  It's nice to see railroading from well beyond our borders and Australian railroading is an interesting hybrid of North American and overseas railroading.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Paul,

Thanks.

I picked a photo that was well lit and showed the locomotives (which would be unfamiliar to most forum members) clearly.  I never expected to win. But I am pleased with the response. I will submit further photographs when the subject is appropriate.

I went with the same.

Peter, are you the Peter Clark who is the author of the books such as An Australian Locomotive Guide?

I am indeed.

I am worrying about an update of that book right now.

I liked the Australian photo just because it was something out of the norm.
