Very nice photo.

Your wide-angle shot gives it a 3-D look and implies great speed. It's a little like the effect the shutter design on one of CM Clegg's cameras gave to black-and-white speed shots of the 1940s...

At Steamtown, of course!

Strange, how so many folks take for granted a large 2-8-2 running on the former DL&W main, on schedule, no less. Granted, the schedule is not as grand as it had been in the past, but there are still a few opportunities to make the most of it. 

Having the chance to shoot this like frequently over the years afforded a unique one shot deal on the Mikado's trip to Moscow last weekend.

Enjoy!
