This steam engine and it's small train of cars were running most of the day while I was in Cologne. I have no idea where it ran to or for how long or how you got to ride on it, but it sure was a draw at the station!
Wow! I LOVE this photo! I love seeing the curve, like it is clearly in motion. I love the steam coming out of the top and the bright splash of red. And I love all the surrounding elements that make this so interesting. What a great catch!
Deb - this is a stunning photo! I absoluely love it. There's something almost sinister about it, but probably only because of the Holocaust connection to old trains. The colors are truly vivid, and the composition is great.
