    Baldwin 2-8-8-4 "Yellowstone" Locomotive.

    Operated by the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway (DM&IR). Proctor, Minnesota.
    These M-4 class engines are considered to be the largest, most powerful steam locomotives ever built (1943).
    This photo shows only the rear drivers, I could not place the camera so as to include the entire engine on one sheet of film.

    Very nice, Reinhold.

    How about using a (much) wider lens? I would love to see the whole locomotive.

    If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.

    Crooks, South Dakota

    I've been running around taking photos of empty tracks on gloomy days lately. Mostly I'm after the feel of fading small towns. Chamonix 045n, Rodenstock 135mm f5.6, FP4.

    Not sure any other optic of a shorter focal length than 210mm will cover 8x20. Maybe the best option is a stitched scanned two shot process to get the whole locomotive in the image area.

    Re: Trains

    I had the thought of stitching until I remembered this was 8x20. It would be a huge file to start with! I shoot a lot of trains (obviously) and I would have simply photo'd one set of drivers. Everyone will have their own approach, of course.

    Hi Kent,

    From the online descriptions of the Yosemite locomotive, the front driver set pivots to accommodate track curvature, so the front and rear driver sets are not identical.

    Re: Trains

    As Michael says, 210mm on 8x20 is about as wide as one can get.
    I used the awesome 210mm Super Symmar XL, but the confining placement of the loco forced me to choose which segment to photograph.
    Kent's suggestion of stitching two shots (cab end and cowcatcher end) didn't occur to me. (grrrr).
    An 8x40 contact print... maybe include the tender... hmmmmm.

    Yes. I've seen the engine number of times now.
