A shot I got last year of the Union Pacific 844 in Ennis, Texas.

Nice! I got a shot of it as it passed through Liverpool, Texas. Processed in sepia for that old timey look.

Steam Schedule
Currently, there are no Steam excursions scheduled. Please check back in early April, which is when annual schedules usually are posted.

From UP: Steam Schedule

But- From This page-

The Little Rock Express edged the Tuscola Turn by 3,042 votes to win Union Pacific Railroad's "Great Excursion Adventure - You Route the Steam" contest. Union Pacific will route one of its legendary steam locomotives from Kansas City, through St. Louis and on to Little Rock. The excursion date will be determined within the coming weeks.

Nice work y'all. Note my avatar....That was from a previous visit to Hearne.

as far as critiques, for Bob it seems a bit crowded on the left side. Would like to see a bit more breathing room along that side and perhaps a smidge more in front. But the exposure and such look very good from here. The conversion is excellent.

Noel, the sepia works well here. I use a custom sepia that I like for a lot of my steam shots.

Incredible shots! Both look great.

Bob, I like your B&W processing on the image - great tonal contrast. I agree with Kenon the left side spacing.

Thanks for the comments.
John & Ken, I agree. I think the same thing, but unfortunately I had to crop out some people standing by the train that was more of a distraction than crowding the left side.
