Locomotive at rest, Durango and Silverton Railroad, Durango, Colorado, 2010

This railroad hauls tourists between Durango and Silverton every day. Its steam locomotives are historic pieces of equipment and usually live in this barn. Its multiple doors swing open to welcome the well-used locomotives come evening. I made this image by shooting through an open window in the back of the barn, and caught this locomotive, its copper fittings gleaming in the dusk, at rest.

I agree. The streaks of reflected light on the locomotive imply its function -- swift and strong movement. Thanks for this observation, Tim.

Yet, the streaks of light seem to be a memory of the trains traveling days.
