Eleven years ago, I attended the Streamliners at Spencer event in North Carolina with fellow photographer Pat Yough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of three days I exposed hundreds of photos of the myriad preserved locomotives and roling stock on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the various EMD diesels were the stars of the show, one of the curiosities was this former Santa Fe Railway Alco PA dressed as Nickel Plate Road 190.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with a Lumix LX7, I made this image at dusk on the evening of 31 May 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are three versions (all scaled for internet presentation as Jpg images); <\/p>\n\n\n\n
