This IS a very neatly composed shot, Carol. It has a lovely nostalgia-type atmosphere, I love the warmth that comes out of it.

We came amazingly close on this one, Carol. In my own interpretation of this freight train rumbling through the Barstow Yards at sunset (http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/56187958 ) We used different focal lengths and different vantage points so our images are framed differently. I was able to get the end of the train into my shot, but fewer cars, because of the curving of the track from my vantage point. You were able to include more cars because of your shorter focal length and different vantage point. But each of our images gives, as Marie-Helene points out, the effect of musical notes against an evening sky. You can almost hear the song..."I've been working on the railroad...All the live long day....." in each of them.

The sky is like a music sheet...
Electric mood, Carol!
Gorgeous light & tones.
