Thanks! And like Hollywood movies, it’s all mostly fake:

Lighting by several LED flashlights only, 20 second exposure.

Very nice touch on that photo, Bob.

I don’t have nearly your experience, and I certainly don’t have a digital camera. But, you sure make me want to correct those two deficienies. [^]

i love the eerieness of this photo. its like something stephen king would use for the cover on a book.

near the essex steam train exebit here in CT i saw a poor old 44 ton US army loco on an abandoned, shadey siding. i felt kind of bad for it. some access doors were opened, the intiorior was gone, and it looked almost ghostly, painded dark green, rustey, and surrounded by old crane equipment.

A camera is relatively easy to acquire, 40 years of experience can take a bit more effort! [:D]

Good luck!
