Durango-Silverton Railroad, Colorado. Click here to read an earlier post about this ride, a part of our summer roadtrip.
There's just something about a train! And something about this old-style one that seems to call for black and white.
Super cool pic!

You're right. Trains are perfect for black and white photography.

Beautiful in black and white. My brother-in-law volunteers at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. He would definitely love this photo!

I've lived in Colorado for 20 years, but I haven't yet ridden this railroad - I must fix that soon. Your photo is superb.

I really like this shot!

Black and white is definitely the correct medium in my book. What a neat shot. I adore trains and wish they were still running like they were when I was a child. I lived in south Florida and rode the train to and from Atlanta to go to college at Emory. The idea of driving my own car never entered the mind. Loved the porters and my little bunk. This is a grand capture. Genie

I agree with the B&W- my kids are playing a train game right now, so the timing is perfect.
