I was wondering if that was stitched. That locomotive is wedged in like my 
Aunt's foot into her two size too small shoes.

Absolutely agree, In person, it's a very impressive monster. 

It's the typical pano problem for computer display, only in this case, for a 
thing, not a landscape. (And it is a pano, 
BTW; I didn't have a wide enough lens, with the limited focal distance 
available.) 

I thought myself lucky to see the young girl step up to read the display 
description, so I could provide some measure of 
scale. 

Next time perhaps an HR shot with 7 mm lens, then a pano crop that takes 
several screen widths to see all of?
