    4. Any posts with images taken before the commencement of the challenge will not be included in the poll and may be moved to the cutting room floor thread.

    9. A cleaver and distinctive title for your image helps identify it among voters. (And makes it easier for me when posting the poll ;) )

    No pressure here. I have been waiting patiently for U.P. to move some cars around in the yard that have been blocking my subject. I see that you also moved the deadline date out so my chances are getting better.

    This is a tower that was used to light the south end of the yard in Minturn, Colorado. UP shut the line over Tennessee Pass down in 1987 but the rail is still there.

    Just a reminder, because of Valentines Day, this contest has been extended and will now close Tuesday at midnight (UTC -11).

    That means 1 extra day to get an entry in! :D :D :D

    Do you notice what message that engine is trying to send? ;)
    Apparantly he doesn't like the pumpkin colors. :D
