Artist's Comments

Well, if you look at the EXIF, this image is over a year old - and, yet, it's presented only today.
If you look at the sky, you may deduce the reason I kept this photo hidden for so long. A partly cloudy day, with the sunlight being occasionally covered by a cloud. I and a friend were waiting for this train, a special Pecovasa car transport train from Entroncamento to Alverca (but, in the mean time, we also captured other trains) done with a CP 1550 and, when it appears, yours truly, with the camera set for a sunny shot, has to take pictures as yet another cloud covers the Sun. Oh woe. So, I stuff it into my archives, leaving for another day the task of trying and transform it into a fairly decent shot.
Well, today was that day. And this was the result. Besides, after all... a thing like this isn't seen in quite some time around here.

We don't have auto-rack flatcars like that anymore here in the US... they're all covered now to keep the cars from getting damaged.

This shot is pretty good, love the extensive use of foreground/DOF. +fav.

Thanks :) Most of our car transport wagons are covered too - to be honest, I could say "all of our...", since the ones on this train belong to a Spanish company.
