Original – Russian Locomotive Class U number U127 (Lenin's Locomotive) at the Museum of the Moscow Railway located at Paveletsky Rail Terminal, Moscow

Reason: Good EV and composition. Good enough quality. There are some blown highlights, but I think it's still a very good picture of the train.

Support — Historically significant, visually interesting — but suggest tighter cropping around loc. & tender to minimize distracting stuff in left foreground. (We don't need to see railcar behind tender, which anyway is not very visible due to angle.) Cutline should say it's a 4-6-0 built by Putilov in 1910. Sca (talk) 15:15, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support- but I disagree about the cropping. I think when the rails in the foreground are reduced, they may become less compositionally relevant and more distracting. The dark shape of the railcar give depth to the pic, which effectively draws back from the bright clutter of the rails. Amandajm (talk) 02:26, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
