THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR TRAIN AND TRANSPORTATION AFICIONADOS. Taken over 35 years ago in Green River Wyoming. This train is an original true piece of moving history! I was eating breakfast in the town of Green River and noticed a great amount of black/gray smoke all around the town. I inquired what was happening and was told about the Iron Horse that was on a tour across the country to be enjoyed by all and, lucky for me, I was one! I traveled out of town about 5 miles following a very long steep hill that the train had to conquer and I went ahead to the top of the hill and waited. Not long after and to my delight and excitement was the Old Iron Horse coming up to me, black smoke rising as far as you could see as she worked her way to the crest. I was really shaking with anticipation when the earth gave way to her mighty engine and the ground shook as if to surrender to its mighty will to top the hill at last. Oh yay! I took a mighty fine photograph as it passed me and vanished into the smoke of a long forgotten time and days gone by.

As a purist, I never digitally alter any of my work; however, I made an exception with this one piece. I came up with the idea to create this image by flipping the negative to create two trains, then flipped them again to finish with this interesting composition.
