Description
As a child, I often daydreamed about the thrill of standing at the controls of a colossal locomotive, imagining the joy of tossing coal into the fiery furnace, deftly adjusting knobs, and eagerly pulling the cord to release a resounding honk. Now, as an adult, I find myself in the unique position of driving that very train. The realization that I can actively participate in these once-fanciful activities brings a profound sense of fulfillment and nostalgia, turning childhood dreams into tangible, real-life experiences.

My Dad worked on a train in Laramie, WY before he married, probably 1930s. He shoveled coal. He always wore a railroad cap and Key overalls, worked as a machinist later. What is Hdr photography?

HDR is where you take 3 or more images and stack them removing blowouts from the highlights and extracting detail from the shadow.
