Description
A restored EMD GP7 locomotive operated by the Santa Fe Southern Railway (SFSR) glistens in the fading sunset at the old Santa Fe depot, near downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. This short line railroad took over after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ceased operations on the 18-mile branch line from Lamy, and operates primarily as a round trip tourist train. On August 12, 2012, one of its locomotives appeared in an episode of the television series, "Breaking Bad," as it was stopped during a heist of the chemical methylamine from a tank car.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I am an opportunist photographer of nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer to capture the spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring, and rarely photograph staged subjects other than portraits. Although I have been a photographer for decades, I have only been posting them for others to see since about September 2012. Although I will continue to post on 500px, I have begun to focus upon my site (gary-holmes.artistwebsites.com) on Fine Art America, which offers a wider range of printing and mounting options not currently available on 500px. As a result, I have now successfully sold several of my works.
