Now There's a Switch

I got this shot of a Coaster (our local commuter train) locomotive powering north along the coast yesterday. If you look closely you can see the Engineer in the cab wearing a mask. Thing is, there was a time when it was only the train ROBBERS that were wearing them. Oh well, just another a sign of the times.

Love the tight framing and the colorful graphic quality of this image Nick. I walked into a bank the other day with my mask on and a strange feeling came over me :0) V

A well noted irony! This is a great shot of all of these powerful details! V

I've seen folks driving alone in their car with a mask on. I know it the end of the world when I see a water skier wearing one.

Better safe than sorry. Nice blues and lines. Love how you captured the driver. V

Fabulous catch Nick. I'm guessing there must have been someone else in there with him. ~BV~

what a gripping image...tight framing on a moving subject is not easy..

An impressive image Nick! I like the tight framing and yes it's a very topical picture because of the mask! V

Excellent Railroad image and you correct about the sign of the times. He must have someone inside the cab with him. Nice sharp presentation. Vote

A superb presentation of the blue locomotive. I like your framing. V.

Great capture of this locomotive, and such an interesting observation.

That is a sad but prudent time of these times. "coaster" That's new to me.
