All Aboard The Doom Train

Actually its a rather rare locomotive. Though not 100 percent sure, due to the angle. It appears to be an ALCO RS3, made in the mid 50s. They are favorites with railfans.

Nice Pic!

Thanks for sharing.

Great subject and a really great shot!

(and for anyone who's read the Ben Aaronovitch book, "Transit"... 'Fat Momma'?!)

Beautiful image, great subject. Realy like this print.

Looks to have been a formidable beast in its day. I love the sky. Polariser plus red takes a bit of beating.

Gary,

There are no battery boxes on the walkways and there appears to be a fuel fill on the cab side, so that would make this an RS2, not the more common RS3.
