A large, clear, and beautifully composed photograph of historic steam locomotives. I've cleaned up the artifacts from the original upload at

Support, now that it illustrates
Roundhouse.
Spikebrennan (

Spikebrennan (
talk) 17:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)** It had been completely neglected in the slush pile of US-PD images over on Commons and not used in any article. It would be suitable for several articles, but since many railway topics are already abundantly illustrated (with imho lower quality images) I added this to two pages where illustrations were rare. Seems proper to let another Wikipedian who didn't Photoshop the pic or nominate it for FPC judge where it goes. Certainly has encyclopedic potential.

Neutral. Achingly pretty and old, but technical flaws are rampant and there's just no encyclopedicness to make up for it. --

Support Gorgeous scene - can't believe it was taken so long ago and it's as good as it is. Someone should sharpen it tho - I might have a shot later on if no one else does --

Comment A lovely scene but does it need to be so green ? I adjusted the colour balance and got, in my opinion, a much more pleasing result -

Go ahead and upload an alternate if you like. And please add it here if you think it's better (it's simultaneously on Commons FPC so feel free to add
there as well). Quality color photographs as old as this are unusual so I've been very conservative in my approach: artifact removal only with no histogram or sharpness adjustments.

Support Both, preferably the Original I prefer the green coloring. However, both images are acceptable due to their stunning nature and encyclopedic value. --Sharkface217 06:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)reply
Support Great quality for 1942. Kodachrome? BTW, I would prefer an even better corrected version. Try a simple photosoup "auto levels" - that will get rid of the green cast in the shadows, still bothering in alternative. --
