This shot reeks of personality.

Considering the fact that the engines seem to be almost twins, that's saying something significant. Being able to take a picture where the location of the objects are far apart, without making it seem like a neutral shot (that was taken to inform) isn't something I see too often.

The color of the environment matches the stripes. The headlights don't glare or really seem to be obvious. Most train shots don't do that, the sharpness in the background really looks nice compared to the foreground.

I think this shot is one of a handful that would seem interesting, even to those who aren't railfans. There was a moment in time and you managed to capture it.
