I think this is a great photo and the trash bags, for me, add to the photo. Makes the locomotives look like they have been thoroughly cleaned and readied for the crew

As of 10/9/12, the 2598 was still in use at Sprouse Creek in Lobata, WV.

I agree with Bernie, the trash bags give the photo a more realistic look...the duties of every day railroading. And there's something special about a SD45 running long hood forward. It adds to the look of raw power.
