Mini Challenge #601 - Abandoned
3

The theme for Mini-Challenge #601 is Abandoned. The challenge will end on Monday January 16 at midnight west coast US time.

Abandoned can apply to many things. Interesting old buildings. Vehicles from bicycles to steam locomotives. How about something abandoned by animals rather than people?

Besides interesting images from your archives, how about stopping to take a picture of something interesting that you pass by on a regular basis but have never photographed. One day it won't be there. I know that applies to me.

THE RULES as usual

You may enter up to three competition images.

Please reply to the FIRST (ORIGINAL) post only if you are submitting an entry and please remember to change the Subject of your post to display your name or picture titles.

Please embed your image in the thread. As a show of courtesy, and for clarity, please remove the original post when replying, so you don't bring back any previous photos unless you discuss (refer to) them.

Any camera or time taken is eligible.

It doesn't get much more abandoned than this.  Only sheep wander around it.

Crandell's First - Old Baldwin Tank Engine
6

This old gal, a Baldwin 2-8-2 T (for tank) steam locomotive sits all but forgotten outside of a sawmill near Telegraph Cove on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

If you are interested, this is a 'saddle tanker' because instead of a towed tender with coal/oil and water to feed the beast, the water tank is draped over the boiler.  This does two things: if puts more weight over the driving wheels which adds traction, and it preheats the feed water a bit due to heat loss from the boiler running under the tank.

Alone and vewing and documenting the action from far away. The solitude of the photographer.
