I took this picture when I was out shooting with my friend Larry. He showed me all the markings on the cars that tell where they were made and a lot of other interesting things. For example, this tanker was built in 1926. There’s a perk to bringing an industrial archaeologist with you. Seriously, that’s what he does. Check out his site — he has a totally awesome photography website – very clever sideways navigation on the galleries. If you like it, ask him who designed it for him. OK, okay, it was me. 
I did a little post processing in Lightroom to boost the colors, sharpness, contrast and add the vignetting. Love that yellow crane.

I’ve been doing sideways navigation for years (2001) at my main site – http://www.photoessayist.com. Always thought it was a more natural way to see photos that you want to show as a single story.

Neat picture, amazing the things you can find out.
Left to right is more natural. But with the era of the PC, we now scroll down.
I love these railyard pics. I am anxious for summer and get out in the yards.
