Steam Train Crossing Alpine Saddle in Winter Sun

Hard coastal glare illuminates a vintage steam locomotive navigating a high alpine saddle near Sopocachi. The engine, dark against the pale sky, exhales a plume of white vapor that drifts toward low-hanging clouds. Long, sharp shadows stretch across the rocky terrain, showing the low angle of the early autumn sun. Patches of dry grass and scattered boulders line the track, against the metallic sheen of the train's boiler. The landscape feels vast and open, with the train positioned in the lower third of the view. Dust kicks up slightly near the wheels, caught in the bright light. at the edge is the crisp edge of the locomotive's smokestack against the pale blue sky.
