Prime Mover - Burnham Shops, Denver, CO by Christopher J. May, on Flickr
Here’s a shot I took on Sunday down by the Burnham Shops. This is a study of a cold, lifeless GE prime mover revealed by some open doors on a locomotive down there.
There’s something eerie about being next to a silent locomotive. In the case of the GE, not hearing that low bass chug with random rev ups and that familiar “whoop!” of the air compressor kicking on.
Nothing. Just stillness.
