:A good candidate for the lead image, but as we've already had a few electric-powered trains in a row, this would be better for April, now that I've updated the March picture to be a diesel-powered train.

I feel that this image accutately portrays to the rail transport community modern trains in the [[United States]].  The locomotive featured here is a member of the [[GE Evolution Series]], GE's top of the line.  It features [[regenerative braking]], to meet the new [[EPA]] Emissions Standards.[[User:KG6YKN|KG6YKN]] 21:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC) <br clear=all>

I'm inclined to use the sugar cane railway image since we've shown primarily standard gauge trains in the lead image so far. [[User:Slambo|Slambo]] [[User talk:Slambo|<small style="color:black">(Speak</small>]] 15:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
:Looking back at the [[Portal:Trains/Intro/Image archive|archive]], we used photos depicting the following:
:* May-Dec 2005: US diesel powered freight train
:* Jan 2006: Austrian electric passenger train
:* Feb 2006: German electric passenger train
:* March 2006: US steam passenger train
:* April 2006: Indian steam passenger train
:* May 2006: US electric passenger train
:* June 2006: Japanese electric passenger train
:* July 2006: British steam freight train
:So, if we're looking for diversity, then either of the two Australian images (showing diesel freight trains) would be near the top of the list.  We've done four electric powered passenger trains in the last 8 images, and we've done US in three of the last 8.

*A really interesting image, but not, imho, good enough to be the lead picture. The building takes up too much of the frame and kind of distracts from the tram. [[User:Thryduulf|Thryduulf]] 18:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
