Train of Jokioisten Museorautatie (Jokioinen Museum Railway) with engine number 5 from 1917 at Humppila station.

Railway of Jokioinen was opened between Humppila and Forssa in 1898. Length of the railway was 23.4 km and rail gauge 750mm. Passenger traffic was closed in 1954 and the railway was closed down in 1974.

Since then part of the railway was dismantled. But 1978 a museum railway started it's operations. The trains run between Humppila and Jokioinen. There's a narrow gauge museum at the station of Minkiö about half the way.

Hello Kari.
The shot is nicely composed, with the train perspective on the left and the lamps' fugue on the right. The human figure are well-placed too.
Best regards.
Bobo.

All it needs is a smily face and it's Thomas the Tank Engine. Someone has put in a lot of work. This is a seriously old engine. From this distance the people could be from the same age. Great perspective shot.

Terve Kari,
Lovely engine like Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. Small engines have a strong power to attract a lot of people. Very well framed with a picturesque background. the white puffy clouds is really nice, and they look like also smoke.

Hi Kari,

The presence of the people has a n effect of scale. the point of view is showing the details and colors of the old locomotive and of the wagons. It is also giving perspective and depth to the composition. The luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.
