Trains and railroads have provided rich subject matter for photography since the mid-nineteenth century, but it is rare to see more than a few scattered images these days. Thus it was a surprise - and a delight - to see eight separate images in the 2008 Photo Review Competition, all of which wonderfully capture the grit and romance of the railroad in a modern context.
