Durango Silverton Railroad Locomotive

When I rolled into Silverton it was raining and splendidly gloomy. Though I didn’t plan on the train being there, it made the perfect subject to capitalize on the dramatic clouds. The steam coming from the pressure valve is the defining characteristic of the engine in this photo. However, by the time I composed the shot, the steam stopped. Not knowing exactly how steam locomotives work, I wasn’t sure if I missed my chance. But while the locomotive sits idle, the firebox continues to boil water and pressure still builds, releasing steam every few minutes.
