Artist's Description
Actually, this is a pair of diesel locomotives, the Reading 903 and 902, in a push-pull configuration. They are currently on static display at the Steamtown, USA National Park & Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Both of these General Motors FP7 engines were built together in 1950 and were completed at the same time, on June 1st. They were used as a pair frequently, beginning with their first official run on the Reading Company Line on June 6th of that year.
The Reading 902 & 903 have been on loan from the Reading Company Technical and Historical Society since January of 2010, in exchange for excursion rights.
This photograph was captured on November 11th, 2013. It was taken with a Canon 5D DSLR, through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens at the 29mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1/160th of a second, with an aperture of f/8, ISO 100. The camera was mounted on a Manfrotto tripod, with a Manfrotto 222 Pistol Grip head. A remote shutter release cable was also used.

About Gene Walls
I was born in the wild hills of West Virginia, raised in western Maryland and currently live in north central Pennsylvania, USA. My higher education includes Theological Studies, Electronics Engineering, Audio Engineering and Visual Arts. I taught a Media course at Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn State Affiliate).

Natural waterfalls are the most frequent photographic subjects found at the business end of my lens. Historic Covered Bridges and farmland scenes are also very close to my heart, but any visually interesting...

Good to see the old train again. Might even road it. Originally from Reading. Outstanding photo Gene.
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very kindly, Donna! These engines spent half a century on the Pennsylvania rails. It is quite possible that a train you rode could have been pulled by one or both of these locomotives. Best wishes, Gene
