Photographer's Note
In Faaborg on the southern of Fyn is the veteran train club, which maintains this beauty of an old steam locomotive – (I will give some more details with my next photos).
In the summertime this train makes trips between Faaborg and Corinth (no not the one in Greece ;-)
with full steam on the engine – and no care about pollution :-)
May be I should add - It only when starting the smoke so intense.

Excellent, Jeppe, a beautiful steam engine, I love it. I like the clouds of smoke, and the headlight. Beautiful shot.

Very good picture, the smoke creates very good and very special atmosphere, it reminds me 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie.

I like this composition. it is almost black-white scene because al those smoky. :-)
I can see all three lights very well and especially the colours of Danish flag are rich. That gives a separate irradiation for a complete scene.
very good work again.
Regards, Don.

Great capture, Jeppe! The smoke and steam capture the very essence of steam and for a steam lover like myself that's also a great part of the romance of steam. The photo reminds me a bit of Turner's painting called Rain and Steam (if I remember correctly). Good composition, too! Well done! (I am going to try something in Workshop, so go and have a look and tell me what you think!)

Jeppe, this is very very good. The way the train spews it's fume is well-captured and it evn balances out the picture in the frame. The red sign is the focal point and there's no mistaking about thta. Very good work.

Great action shot, Jeppe! One can really feel the dynamic of the smoke and steam. I like very much the different shades of grey. It might be a good B&W pic, too?

Hello Jeppe,
this old train is beautiful and I like all this smoke, in the past there was a lot of pollution too I think...I'm waiting for the next shot!

I really should go to bed now, but I'll just comment on this :o) Well the drama is hard to miss, aswell as the action, it's avery beautifull picture of this old steamer. I love it.. Your anle loos a bit dangerous though, are you OK? The many shades of grey in the smoke are really dood and that pale sky makes a great background for a portrait of pollution :o)
Points tomorrow. here ya go :o)

Quel panache ! C'est superbe ! j'aime beaucoup les volutes blanches et noires qui sont la force de cette photo. Sans doute qu'une version en n&b serait plus forte encore. j'aime le ws. En tous cas , bravo

Great nostalgia, I am agree with Kaj. Pioneer's spirit in this amazing picture, Jeppe.
P.S. Can you smoke on this train?

Yes, an old steam engine in action is a sight I also like a lot. Very good how the black smoke blends with the border of the chimney; the tracks make a fine lead into the photo, and I like the railway station details partially hidden behind the smoke. I was about to suggest a tighter crop and saw Ray did already a nice WS to that end. Well done, Jeppe, thanks for sharing!
Added to song title theme.

Oops I missed this the other day, and now I'm out of points. I've always liekd train shot, even though I've not posted any yet, this has loads of character, showing it obviously working hard.

Lovely smoke and so much of it. I think you can be lucky for the bands on the chimney, the number and the headlights.

Excellent one Jeppe. I have to find an old loco like this here, not so easy :-(. Excellent composed, the clouds of smoke and the head lights combine very finely here. ^Very well managed contrast, very fine shot Jeppe.

Those big eruptions of smoke and steam are very impressive. Your picture is catching very well the intensive effort of the engine to start moving its wheels. Very well done.

Encore une belle réalisation. J'aime beaucoup les lumières du train qui percent la vapeur. La composition est parfaire à mon goût. Bien fait.
Good shot!
