This seems like a good idea to repost various photos from LOTW threads. If you see a photo from an old LOTW thread you can post it here. We need to give credit to the original poster and mention when the photo was posted and in what LOTW thread.
I will start with this one from the first LOTW thread on Tyco Forum.

Same! I'd rather make my own though. Get two generic 4-6-0's, strip them, repaint. I like the paint scheme of the cannonball from Season 3 onwards...
The BTTF 4-6-0 #131 shouldn't be too hard, just black, graphite smokebox, and printed decals!

Lost inside my computer, WKS kindly found it and sent it to me on a flash drive. One of my very favorite photos, and, I recall, my first post to the TF. It is titled, "On the Bridge." To my mind it reflects a certain anxiety of the future (Penn Central doomed, the angle, the cathedral in the background) juxtaposed with the solidity of the iron bridge, the massive steel locomotive perched upon it. Even though the image is static, it is, to my eye, turbulent and unnerving.
The grain was a pure accident, I wish I could do that on demand. The grain reminds me ever much of a drizzly day of railfanning in Hackensack, NJ in 1975.
(Mantua is mine, layout: EP Model Train Assoc).
As I slid and skidded down the Slippery Slope of Tycoholism, I assembled a 4x6 with a Tyco GG1, to start with. The original G could barely pull Tyco passenger coaches, and a TF member sent me a second vamp motor, which is installed in tandem making two power trucks, now it pulls like mule.

You could photograph a much wider scene and crop down the photo to the scene you want. That'd lower resolution and make for a grainy picture.
You could also photograph in really low light, so the camera trades resolution for light.

A possible name could be the Charley and Floyd Western Railroad. That would be named after the two Cannonball employees. Charley Pratt the engineer and Floyd Smoot the conductor. Here is a similar steam engine photo classic.

That's a BLI Hudson, right? I have one of those in a New Haven livery. Beautiful locos, I must say.

It's alright by me!
And quite entertaining since the possibility of the Rock Island being able to pay for electrification was about the same as their successfully building a tunnel to Hawaii.
