•  Comment Category is "Places/Architecture/Bridges" but this set is focused on the train, it's a bit weird. --Laitche (talk) 07:06, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

  I suppose you're right. With a few exceptions, most train-on-bridge images end up in the train category. Updated. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Honestly, I see no issues to put an image in two different galleries when it's relevant. -- Christian Ferrer 17:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Interesting --LivioAndronico talk 11:39, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support However, I think posting 4 images is redundant, for the train is visually invisible. The structure is interesting. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:28, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support One fact: If Tomascastelazo not say that there was a train, I'd get confused. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 20:47, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Tremonist (talk) 14:12, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice idea, but there were no significant differences, which justify a promotion of all these images IMO. -- Christian Ferrer 17:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Christian, not enough significant differences as a set. --Laitche (talk) 17:12, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose I prefer the single image, set does not add much. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:25, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per others.--Jebulon (talk) 15:44, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose No interesting change. — Julian H.^✈ 16:02, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Info I seem to not have mastered the art of deciding whether to use a set nom. I nominate a single image, and people clamor for a set. Here, it's the reverse. Per Tomascastelazo's comments, I'm offering up just the third one, which features the train most prominently. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

• strong  Support very good, all works here, light, subject, composition, quality... however maybe it lack a bit of space at right.-- Christian Ferrer 17:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Awesome structure. I would have preferred a view from further away though (reducing the distortion), but I have no idea if that is possible. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:25, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

  Certainly possible - but I intentionally chose this view to bring out the front of the train, as a train going completely sideways is less interesting. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Kruusamägi (talk) 01:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Neutral Cramped composition esp. on the top, needs more space. (cloning maybe help this). --Laitche (talk) 06:12, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Mile (talk) 11:01, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Very very good. Could have been excellent, IMO, with an "anti" panning shot, showing the train moving...--Jebulon (talk) 15:55, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support More space on the bottom would be great, but I get that that angle of view is difficult to capture. — Julian H.^✈ 16:02, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Julian want more space on the bottom and I want more space on the top. The bottom line is tight crop? ... --Laitche (talk) 16:11, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support. Nice photo and not needed some manipulations IMO. Well done -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 16:54, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Poco² 19:35, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Good. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 01:45, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Great angle, and the image may have some further historic value as it may well be one of the last times we see an AEM-7 pulling an Amtrak train. Daniel Case (talk) 02:43, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Famberhorst (talk) 15:50, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
