Support There are still way too few featured railway pictures, so let's try again :) -- Kabelleger (talk) 21:52, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral There's something about a mile-long object that is just hard to capture on film. When I think of the best images of trains, what comes to mind are the old B&W early 20th century industrial images showing the machinery, the complexity of the vehicle. This one just doesn't seem to capture 'train' as well as it could. Also the subject is fairly small and we can barely see the rails, which are a fairly important part of the train concept.

- About not seeing the rails: There is often no other way to get a background that isn't cluttered except standing a bit lower, as I did for this picture. Otherwise you'd have to be in a desert to get a calm background :) (we'll try that in February in Morocco). --Kabelleger (talk) 09:32, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose central composition --Leafnode✉ 13:58, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment And what is so wrong about central composition? Please elaborate, since I don't see anything wrong. --Blago Tebi (talk) 19:58, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I'm afraid that composition (too much foreground) and quality here are a little bit too average for FP. But yes: we need definitely more good railway pictures at Commons! Interesting and very nice view of a legendary European engine from the 50's. This model - based on the famous F7 of General Motors / EMD - was not only built in Sweden by NoHAB, but also in Belgium by AFB (Société Anglo-Franco Belge de Matériel de Chemins de Fer) for the Belgian and Luxemburg state railways. In Dutch these engines are called "Bolle Neuzen" (Round Noses). -- MJJR (talk) 20:11, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Weak support. Nice summer countryside feeling and colors. The composition could be better, but is anyway still ok IMO. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MJJR's comments I guess. It is a nice image just not quite FP to me, sorry --Herby ^{talk thyme} 17:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support, per Matti. Wolf (talk) 21:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
