Description Colorized photo from 1868Original title: Pony Engine. Engine number 3 of the Union Pacific Railroad Photographer: Andrew RussellLocation: UnknownTrain yards have smaller locomotives that only served one main task, moving train cars and linking them together. They were known as Switcher cars, but also go by other names: Shunter, yard pilot, yard goat or shifter. In the US they called it a switcher, in the UK its known as a shunter. But basically its a small tasked engine that ofen has small wheels, that has low power but high torque. Sometimes they would downgrade old locomotives and they become the work horse of the yard. They couldn't usually take these for long rides though, they did however use these to go between stations as often it was their only fast mode of transportation. Think of them as tugboats but for trains.

Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
