Nice countryside, reasonably clear image of the train on a curve, not too much obstruction. - Zzrbiker (talk) 13:26, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
: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. Slambo (Speak 11:31, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

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.KG6YKN 21:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, rather than listing each one individually, since it appears that I'm the only person who actively uses this page, here are six candidates from commons:

Image:MILW U30B 5601.jpg|Milwaukee Road GE U30B diesel locomotive #5601 in 1979
I'm inclined to use the sugar cane railway image since we've shown primarily standard gauge trains in the lead image so far. Slambo (Speak 15:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
:Looking back at the 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. Slambo (Speak 13:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Good color, shows an entire train, highlights steam power. Slambo (Speak 12:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem particularly striking, and for some reason I can't put my finger on it seems a little sort of vauge. Not a bad picture, but I'm not certain its the best we can do. The better of the two imho. Thryduulf 18:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

The structure in the background is a little distracting, but this is the first example I've seen of a tram designed for freight service. Very interesting image. Slambo (Speak 15:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- 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. Thryduulf 18:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
