Engineer, Durango and Silverton Railroad, Durango, Colorado, 2010

An engineer, moments away from launching a journey by steam train from Durango to Silverton, patiently waits for departure. I liked the industrial nature of his traditional costume, the well used grimy glove that rests on the window frame of the locomotive, and the jaunty touch of red at the throat. His vintage white beard seems to fit his role well.

That enjoyment no doubt stems from his experience and his pride in that experience. Thanks, Iris.

He has the look of a man who enjoys his job as compared with the restaurant barker in the previous image.

I noticed that as well -- Durango is living history, and history is often expressed by patriotic symbols.

The flag hat pin is a nice touch.
