Southern Pacific 4449 all steamed up and ready to go. It left the station in Northeast Minneapolis at 8:00 am 18 July, destination Chicago. Once it left the station, I got ahead of it and got a few more shots as it was passing the Jackson Street Roundhouse.

Magnificent!
Wait, isn’t Mitch in there?
Very nicely done HDR, I’d have been hard pushed to tell which for me is a sign of a well processed image. Especially like the steam. Thanks for stopping by my blog too, much appreciated.
YES!!! this one was so grat!!! send it over :-) suits my post so much!!!
Hugs from Anne in Norway.
What a stunning machine – quite magnificent.
This Linky is rather scruffy but the other kind won’t work for me today so I am playing safe with this one.
Stunning HDR!!
I love this one :)
Have a great sunday.

A real veteran – magnificent!
Great comp and spot-on exposure. I really like how dominant a shot it is. Nice touch with the bushes in the bottom right corner.
Nice :)
That is a wonderful shot…
nice!
I am totally LOL .. I left a comment .. and your ‘approval process’ told me it was too short .. now, I do believe I have ’seen’ it all – and hopefully this isnt TOO LONG a comment
Very nice shot!
Yesss! I like it alot;) Wish I could have been there to see it live…
This is truly a beautiful shot in every way! The lighting is perfect, exposure is right on, sharp as a tack. Great fun to look at!
Wish I had seen this!
Such a powerful shot! Absolutely gorgeous!!!
That is truly an amazing shot. Aesthetically, it looks fantastic. When I think about the work that went into making it, it is even more.
You and Dusty really inspire me to want to do more with HDR. Time I started experimenting.
Niiiiiice! This is very cool. I love that powerful presence from this perspective.
