Photo Analysis
This photo is evocative of an older time when mass transit was dominated by the train. The river and river bank along with the train lead the eye around from the lower portion of the image in a backward C shape. The blue of the water, greens and golden leaves and trees and the orange color of the train cars make for a vivid fall image. The gray smoke wafting up and out of frame gives a feeling of the power of the steam engine as it chugs it way north.
