Linkage in Action, 4014 Big Boy Locomotive

Linkage in Action, 4014 Big Boy Locomotive
D'Hanis Texas, November 4, 2019

This is a frame captured from the continuous 4K stream from my Panasonic GX85 camera. The frame was captured with "ffmpeg" and then edited with GIMP.

This is the linkage for the drive wheels of the UP4014 "Big Boy" locomotive. The blur of action shows it as the train passed us in D'Hanis.

... great series of the iconic and historic Big Boy ... I especially like this shot, drilling down on an attractive part/details of the "big picture" ...

Glad you like it. The small details can often be more interesting than the portrait view.
