A foggy day at the Strasburg railroad. I got there too late to ride the train, but caught it pulling back into the station on its last run of the day. Adjustments: contrast, saturation, burned the sky to exaggerate the smoke a bit (it blew off a nice puff further back but left the sky pretty clear by the time it passed me), slight cloning (line along tracks, part of a window on the brick wall), border, resized, sharpened. Hoping to break a 6 with this.
In case people aren't familiar with the book, here's a brief synopsis:
"The Little Engine That Could". I used to love that book as a little kid.

What a classic. Loved that book. Too bad you couldn't get the engine moving through a landscape. Still I give it a 7 because the setting was in need of more thought.
