got a phone call that a steam train was heading my way and to grab my camera and get down to the railway crossing...the information was spot on and caught this loco "steamin and a rollin"...
A wonderful shot of interest & strength, too many lovely elements to mention but I love the Mother-In-Laws tongue greenery, the clarity & the man taking a well deserved rest maybe from shovelling.
I love steam engines -- the sight, smell, and sounds takes me straight back to childhood and our house a few doors up from the Baltimore and Ohio mainline. Fav.
I was tempted to get on board. It's heritage weekend in Ballarat and there were 2 steam trains heading there. Fantastic shot John. Good to see the driver and fireman hanging out for your photo.
@golder365mjsmith ..hi Michael...yes i was at my sons place in Little River about 60km sw of Melbourne and he was driving home on the freeway and sees the loco heading my way...and yes he gave me a call and said i had about 5 minutes to get my camera and drive to the crossing...as you can see i made it in time...cheers
