SP 745 at Speed

On 2 April 2005, restored 2-8-2 Mikado Class SP 745 speeds through Raceland, LA. These are the same rails it ran on when it was in service nearly 50 years ago

Very good composition, although not the best sun angle.

Artist Reply: When an 86 year old steam engine returns to the rails for the first time in 50 years, you take what you can get, and shoot her the way she wants to be shot - At speed on her home rails! Shawn
