A Dour Train

This splendid train in the German State Railway Museum seems to be staring rather glumly at us. Or is a look of suspicion or sophistication? Someone said they thought it resembled Groucho Marx, complete with cigar; another mentioned Omar Sharif... certainly some kind of face is more than apparent. As any photographer of portraits knows, it's all in the eyes, and I particularly like these ones, formed by the headlamps, with the bulbs creating the effect of pupils. Location: Nuremburg, Germany
