 First entry using the Rebel XTi I bought from See.

This passenger car is on display in the visitors parking lot at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad headquarters. Having seen people inside the cars, I was hoping they were open for visitors to go inside, but it seems they use the cars as conference rooms. Not too many railroad cars are this clean and polished in real life, but as the gate-guardian for a major railroad you could probably eat off of the surfaces.

I'm really pleased with how this turned out, but being what DPC is like, I'm figuring this will be lucky if it breaks a 6. Probably a mid to high 5.

An elegant and clean image that would made an excellent poster for rail travel. Has a great art deco feel. The gold and blue palette and crisp composition is a tour de force.
