I love steam railroading, and this photo captures the whole experience of the water stop. The POV and the way you framed this one keeps the whole scene nice and compact without leaving out anything.
Here's how they do the same operation, taking on water, in New Mexico on the Cumbres & Toltec RR.

It's not as tidy, but it gets the 5,000 gallon tank on the tender filled up quickly.

The image is quite fun too and the processing enhances the effect. I would like to learn how some day. I love the tight framing.

Very creative pp, often heavy pp can be too distracting but it's effectively done here.

Looks like a lovely way to spend a day and a lovely place to spend it in.

Beautiful tranquil image. I love that flare and the way the sunlight hits the water.

I love the light here, and the composition - I love the way I'm led to that intriguing stairway at the end.
