This picture was taken in October 2007 at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The museum contains many artifacts and relics (both original and replicated) relating to America's railroading pioneers. They allowed us to wander in and around the old engines while we tried to figure out how the bulky, cumbersome behemoths actually worked. It turned out to be a pretty interesting experience that culminated with an actual mile-long train-ride down "the most historic" track in the United States. Looking at and experiencing the trains first hand, I was once again blown away by human ingenuity. For all their faults and ignorance (eg. destroying the planet, other issues), humans can be very creative when they want to be. For those interested, here is the official link to the B&O Railroad Museum website. (Sony DSLR-A100, 26mm, f/4.5, 1/13, ISO 400)
