2: Rolling the clock back about 60 years, we have this photo of
the Santa Fe from the middle of the previous century. Crandell
Overton, who posted this photo, says:
“On the fictional Seneca Falls Subdivision, this Santa Fe 4-8-4 the
head-end power slows to a stop while taking late-day commut-
ers to their various destinations. The Seneca Sub is somewhere
west of the Great Plains (perhaps in the Dakotas). As the sparse
vegetation suggests, rain generally doesn't fall a lot this far out
from the Rockies. In recent years, due to the heavier trains and
motive power, the yard tracks constantly undergo repairs. A
homebuilt water column looms in the foreground.
“This image is actually a composite of at least six stacked images
in order to derive the sharp depth-of-field you see. The steam
and smoke effects were hand-drawn with the cloning brush in
Sagelight™ Image Editor.”
