As I said yesterday, you knew it had to happen. It couldn't be an end of year review without at least one train.
It's a locomotive outside the Von Storch shop in Scranton, taken on an early September morning. The colors on the engine pop on a sunny morning. Radio and light tower above, bridge over the tracks on the left. The lines of the tracks catch your eye and draws you off to infinity.
As I said a few months ago, it almost looks like calendar art.
Some purists might complain there is a lot of wasted space here, and I do get that. On the other hand, the sky is a great shade of blue, and I wanted to showcase the environment as well as the locomotive-- the trees, the bridge, the radio tower...
Tomorrow, a spirited start to the actual Top Ten of 2021.
