Location:225 E Washington St, Syracuse, NY
This is why it really pays to study old maps before you travel back in time.
Right now, today, this location, does not have that large building. It was removed because they needed to replace it with a state of the art parking lot. And it still is a parking lot, so is that thing behind us that has that giant shadow that I removed.
On the far right, that street, is now a park. The building in the center (the flat iron), has totally different colors today.
I liked the uniqueness of the scene. A bit of danger, a bit of locomotive romance, and a bit of intrigue. The image had some random motion blur, I would imagine this thing made the ground shake. Can you imagine having a hotel room here though? On a regular basis, a train screams through, ringing and honking, shaking glasses. Then a ton of steam and smoke pour through your open windows. I guess it was something you got used too.
