Charlie Zimmerman photo

This image from Charlie Zimmerman does not use Photoshop—everything was captured live with his camera. First, he used a garden hose to add enough water for a reflection in the shot.  He then added a single off-camera light to help illuminate the train so it wouldn’t get washed out against the bright fireworks.  The engine is from Aristo-Craft while the freight cars are all from USA Trains. He weathered all the freight cars.
