Nice shot of Big Boy, I like that you can see the steam rising off. Is that The Gateway Arch in the background?

I didn't realize there were train tracks so near the Arch when I was there, probably 20 yr. ago.
Anyway, nice capture, Kent!

Hey Douglas, thx.
This track is actually coming off the MacArthur Bridge going over the Mississippi River. I'm shooting with a 500mm, so the compression brings them closer together, as the track actually runs E-W, while the Arch spans N-S.
