 not sure if this train is exactly from 1920.. but i know it's an 'alco' diesel train, and looks like I found online from the same era.

Having recently shot some train photos, I think I've begun to appreciate the subject matter much more. This is great. Very good perspective and angle. Good composition and DOF. The only two things that bother me are that it looks like it has been through too much Neat Image (especially noticeable in the foreground) and the blown out sky. Still, it was a strong challenge entry and a great shot on its own (I scored it a 7).

Love the focus and the angle of the shot. Well done. Surely depicts a different time.

Choosing one year would have been better and straitening the image - it is leaning and it bothers the eye. Still a wonderful image. 8

Nice clean picture. The black and white gives it that 1920 feeling. Good job

This is a nice sharp picture of a diesel electric engine and was not around in 1920. 1960 would have been a better title

I like the "feeling" of this shot.

This pic would have been a bit better had you straightened the vertical line of the train. Also it seems a bit too soft for me.

the spot editing in the bushes is quite distracting. Totherwise, I like the subject and shot

The trains seems tilted to me. I am not sure if this was intended, but it is distracting. If you did not intend to make it look tilted make sure the vertical lines are parallel to the frame. Otherwise a very nice shot.
