... before train time. Northwest Railway Museum. Sept. 10, 2011.

While wearing a traditional DOWT staff shirt. Nice car oil can! And love the brick platform, too. That's traditional!

Nice photo, good composition and lighting. More details which date it as modern include the digital watch with plastic band, and the aluminum key carabiner.

More important it's a young guy volunteering as the rear brakeman for the day.

Thanks for the complement on the photo. I liked the canyon effect between the cars on adjacent tracks and purposely held the camera low to enhance it. The lighting -- it's actually backlit. I knew that when I took it and I could see how it might turn out. I played with it some in my electronic dark room to pull up his skin tone which was dark because of the back lighting.
