Railway odds and ends...

I have to admit that I am not getting the "Bourbon & Creosote" composition. Does it have another meaning or context?

I'm not sure what's to get or not get, but agree with others that it's a nice image. IMHO, it would have been better without such a busy / unattractive background (houses & power lines / poles).

It is a nice image. I was just wondering if it had a double meaning or some context outside the image.

I love this subject, so here are two more -

SP4449 starting her first run of the day. I was one of only a few people to slip down the icy hill to watch 'er light off.

Very nice, indeed! I really like steam engines. We have only diesels here and that's been the case since I was a small boy (and I'm by no means a spring chicken). There's just something about steam that impresses itself on my senses in a way the diesel doesn't.
