Coal Smoke and Creosote
That was the heady mix of aromas, along with some excited anticipation at hearing the rhythmic chuff-chuff-chuff of a
large steam locomotive and its train approaching my vantage point along a sweeping curve near Hanover, Pennsylvania.
Former Reading T-1 Class 4-8-4 steam locomotive No. 2101 is on the point of a Chessie System Steam Special on a May afternoon in 1977.
Created from an original Kodachrome-64 transparency, the photo makes its first appearance here.

Although they emit smoke and dirt into the atmosphere, the old "chuf-chufs " always evoke the feelings of nostagia and missing sth that is gone for good.Lucy Trachsel 28/01/2016 2:42
You chose an excellent vantage point and caught the exiting moment of the engine's appearance. The "old" colours add to the nostalgic atmosphere.Regards
