Description: A 4-6-0 camelback locomotive built by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1873. Photographed at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri. This image is a composite of three photos taken in a series vertically in order to cover the whole machine in the cramped area of the shed where this locmotive is housed. The result is severe barrel distortion from the extremely short effective focal length produced by the process. The original images were resized with ImageMagick and processed with hugin to create the composite, which was cropped with GIMP, which created the final jpeg file. No other processing or modifications were done to produce this image.
