PHOTO FOR THE DAY

I've been away from blogging while taking care of a move and all that is associated with the transfer of your stuff from one abode to another. I am just about settled in now, soooo new photos here we come! This is Engine 844 that passed through Tucson last year as part of the centennial. Absolutely impressive to see an actual historic steam engine rolling down the track.

PHOTO FOR THE DAY

This past year Engine 844 conducted a tour of the states, stopping in Arizona for its 100th birthday. After being completely unsatisfied with the photos taken at the Tucson train depot, I jumped in the car and headed north. I had shamelessly eavesdropped and caught a snipped of conversation between one of the train employees and a bystander. The train would be switching cars in Eloy. I ended up with over 30 minutes to shoot photos of a steam engine working. Now I know the reason for the fascination with trains. Magical.
