CSX pumpkin hitches a ride up the east slope of Sand Patch grade.

I think that pumpkin may be missing a shadow on the right side? ;^)

Well the angle suggests that the pumpkins shadow would be directly behind it and not visible. BUT, the angle of light would make the near inside of the pumpkin lighter, and examined with more than a cursory look the whole thing is identical to the pose of the pumpkin on the hill. SO, a little photographic license was indeed taken here.

I can hardly see the pumpkin, and Cinder knows that, so I can't comment ;-)

Gee Dave it isn't *that* expensive is it? At least there are no popups here... :)

Just a thought!

Yes, of course it's the same pumpkin that was sitting trackside in my previous thread. Don't you think it was a pretty good toss to get it to land on the front platform of the westbound train?

I can see it! ;-)

Lack of pumpkin shadow on the handrail post to the right of the pumpkin. Quality of the light is different (glare reflections).

yes

Give me the original doctored image, and I can go down to pixel level to show the difference in quality of the images (expect a knock on your door soon). ;-)
