Well, Ken, I feel better now since you seem to be afflicted by the same bug, it must not be rare.
This factory also has a rail line, but the locomotives are never left there.

Thanks, Grahamp. You are correct. I have tried to get permission to photograph but can not get past the guard who keeps the office off-limits. Maybe they are making something else?
I will keep it up and, if I find something new I will report it here.

It is probably they are sensitive to their environmental impact and don't want the attention from the green lobby.
Their carbon footprint will be huge.
Regardless - it is a good photo.

That's certainly true; it's a good shot. If anyone's interested, here's a better view of my obsession.

An old-fashioned letter to the company press officer might work.

Yes, that is a very good suggestion
Thanks, I will give it a shot when I return to the US next month

This looks like the lignite mine near the old Alcoa plant in Milam. Cool photo.

It is a good shot, but I would print it with a bit more contrast for the shadows and burn in the highlights.
A little tilt (or a higher viewpoint) maybe would have gotten the foreground into focus..... I would have liked that.

A good negative can be interpreted in a many different ways since it allows for different emphasis, intensity, cropping, etc.
Your comments are valid, and I appreciate them, but this is how I like it and enjoy looking at it.
I you like it you can buy it and I will print it as you would like it done.
All the best
