This is a close up of a steam engine driven locomotive located in Tucson, Arizona.

 

 

 

 

I think this is a very powerful image and a tribute to the men who forged this beautiful machine.

 

 

 

 

One feels so small, so insignificant standing next to this massive, man-made machine and to think it's the power of water, in the form of steam that moves this behemoth.

 

 

 

 

This engine is located in a renovated train station in Tucson, Arizona. I thank the preservationists who had the wisdom to save places like this so that future generations can appreciate the world as our predecessors knew it.

 

 

 

 

I have a great passion for mechanical things and the people who designed them and made them work. Each creator is part scientist and part artist for I believe there is great beauty in their creations.
