Speaks for itself
In normal circumstances I'm trying to add something to a train photo, context, scenery, workers, weather, etc. This was a day of shaking things up but sometimes the subject is so pleasing on its own it warrants a non-embellished meat and potatoes capture. Such is the case with CB&Q 504. I've long admired all the photos I've seen of CB&Q Chinese Red back in its glory days but never seen an example firsthand. This SD24 is just dazzling, it doesn't need any pyrotechnics from me as it pulls away from the depot with another CB&Q classic, the Nebraska Zephyr trainset. August 10, 2024.
