 This guy gave me the third degree for taking the photo. Wanted to see my ID and everything. He got a little upset when I asked for his ID in return. It all worked out in the end.

Got the idea from a photo in Rangefinder.

Processing:

Lots of curves, D&B, some other stuff, actions here and there

Thanks for all the votes and comments.

the mist and duo/tri tones are really well selected, you've captured the essence of a train yard in a most interesting way -- one of my ribbon picks

cool PP to one of the newer engines on the tracks! Love the design GE put in them - but your processing is beautiful. Love the angle of the engine to the cars too. Nice work. 7
