A new train painting

I've posted one or two train paintings in the past and here's another. This one depicts Santa Fe trains near Somerville, TX. Arches 140 CP with W&N. 11 x 17.

Thanks for the positive comments, all!

Yep, they are on parallel tracks with slight uphill grade - right to left.

Re: A new train painting

Heavens. I hope they are on different tracks. Would hate to see two such beauties smashed up. Very good painting. Also agree , maybe a little work on the foreground. Just a touch - don't want to detract from those fabulously painted trains. Chammi.
