Third Place Award

This photo took 3rd place in the Selfridge ANGB 2005 Photo Contest. This was taken at the Steam Railroading Institute's Grand Opening. Slide 35mm film on a rather gloomy day. I shot both digital and film that day. It was tough light and high grey clouds most of the day. It rained all the way there, so at least that had stopped by the time I got there.

The Steam Railroading Institute operates this loco on excursions almost every year. It was the model loco for the movie Polar Express. They are locoated in Owosso, Mi. http://www.mstrp.com/
