An Early Attempt at Photo Stacking

This image is one of my first successful attempts with photo stacking. I used CombineZP, a free program to stack three photos. While there is some distortion at the edges, I hope to make many more attempts in the future with better results. You can never complain too much when the software is free.
 

#3377 Eastbound in 1951

 

Great Northern O-8 Mikado #3377 heads east towards Minneapolis Junction on the Willmar Line in western Minnesota in August of 1951. Great Northern steam locomotives sported dark green boilers and occasionally mineral red cab roofs until October 1950. After that, GN shops painted them black on company orders to reduce maintenance.
