I did not take this photo. I couldn't have, since I'm in it.
My Dad took this one on October 9, 1976 in Kilsyth, Tennessee. That's me in the red shirt waving to the engineer, just 10 days after my 7th birthday. That's my Mom standing beside me.
For the railfans among my watchers, that's five ALCo C420s leading an empty unit coal train back to the coal mines of Eastern Kentucky.
Reproduced 35mm Slide
EDIT - Many thanks to Chris for the extra post-processing work on this one. He really brought it out nicely (just going to show that I really, really need better software...).

I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
