What Is Your Favorite Photo on RP?

[Lord Vader]

What is your all-time favorite photo on RP.net? As we approach 100,000 images, I am just curious as to what everyones favorite SINGLE image is. The only rule of course, is that it cannot be your own :wink:

Here is my favorite, taken by Mike Woodruff. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=89783

Oooh, it's a tough choice between:

Seriously, I think this one tops it off. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=82514

A close second.

I was looking through photos tonight and came across this one. This probably has to be my favorite due to uniqueness:

With so many excellent photos to consider, it's
impossible to choose only one. Three of my all-time
favorite are:

Stuart Lovell's backlit shot of steam locomotives
on the Simingyi Viaduct, JingPeng, China:

Many of Stuart's other photos from China are
superb, and worth a look.

Rob Palmer's colorful photo of CSX 533 climbing
the grade in Nevada's Meadow Valley. This image
is a geologist's dream:

Robert Benkovitz's 14 minute exposure from the
Tehachapi Loop. This is one of the real jewels
here at RailPictures.Net:

The mix of weather and railroading appealed to me. Awesome shot!

As I look through the responses so far, I'm quite flattered to find two of my images mentioned. Thank you everyone.
I have to agree with Dave on the steam images from China. As I browse through the photos taken by Stuart Lovell and John Day, it's hard to pick a favorite. Several images taken by each of these gentleman could easily get my vote as the best image on railpictures.net.

All kind of history roled in to one an older model F unit, a speeder, a water tower, only thing missing is a B unit for that point f unit and of course a steamer on the missing other track. But to me over all One beautiful shot of history.
