This was taken at a rail yard in Snoqualmie, WA. There is a small rail yard, fenced off, that has a number of cars and engines in mostly worsening states of disrepair. Great for textures but difficult to get good angles since no one is allowed in yard. This image is from one of the engines.

I like this photo. The contrasting colors and textures are very nice. I would have rotated the crop a bit to make the "Superheater" plaque line up with the top of the frame. Good job.

Again, I love a section rather than the whole in most scenes. I like this very much. I can fee the deterioration.
