This locomotive cab is on Union Pacific 1982. You step in through a door in the front center, up some tight stairs and the station is on the left. Right behind you is a door that leads outside down the right side of the locomotive to move steps at the rear.
Many of the sunsets I take are from a local high school down the road. It's a nice place to shoot, since the westward view is clear and unobstructed from signs, power lines and buildings. Most evenings, there are only a few cars in the parking lot and I am on the far side away from the cars and front entrance. On this evening, the sky looked as pretty from the south, as it did from the west. So I grabbed my tripod and scurried over to the far side of the front entrance. Yes, I scurried. You don't really run with a tripod with your camera on top and the light was fading fast, so I scurried.
Though this very large ride is called Evolution, it should be Revolution, as it revolves around the center mounting point. It's just one of many large rides you find at state fairs and large carnivals. As it revolves around the center, the riders swing in a circle on the end also. It's a great ride to help you lose weight after supper.
