This is a train coming through downtown Orlando. This was snapped on the fly as I was photgraphing the tracks for the "Even" challenge. The number on the train was even, so it became the challenge entry. I like the way it protrays the size of the locomotive, but am curious how to better capture the size/power of the train.

Kteach has it right... the pictures has symetry all in it on the train with the lights, ladders, windows, etc. But I admit to a complete brain fart when it comes to the train number... it didn't dawn on me that there are two odd numbers in the ID number, I just saw the 4 for some reason... doh!
Thinking in terms of "even" my eye is drawn to the sets of lights, windows, and wipers, and the 8 on the second train car, and even the areas of symmetry on the front of the train, but not as much to the idea of #7694 since it has those odd numbers in it. It's amazing how much "even" an be found in this shot.
Trains are fun to photograph, but it can be tricky to get good lighting and non-distracting backgrounds. For example, in this shot, it appears that the upper left part of the train has sprouted some vegetation :-).
Might have made more sense with all even numbers, especially even the title. Nice photo
PS: I spent a half hour one day trying to find a 6 digit car plate with all evens -- no luck!
