During a snowy winter somewhere in the American Wild West, nature faces off with the works of mankind on a cold misty day.  A massive bison bull stands on the tracks blocking the way of the steam engine "The General".  It's buffalo against train in a contest of wills as the great animal challenges the great machine.


I'd done an image a year prior to this one of a bison charging a locomotive.  It's actually one of my favorites.  This one is a bit of a follow up to that where the buffalo seems to have won out a bit and has stopped the train.  Of quick note, I'm not sure how much the General actually made it out West. It's a rather famous train in the area I live in and sits in a museum only a few miles from my home.  It was one of the two trains involved in the Great Locomotive Chase of the Civil War.

Awesome atmosphere! I love the misty effect.

I think it lucky that the train appears to be stopped.

Aaaahhhh this is so great! It gives a feeling of the resistance of nature, and the Native Americans, to "progress" and "civilization" coming west.

I can imagine the General being leased to another railroad out West, so that's why it's out West.

"The General" is also a star at the silent movie of the same name. Co-staring, written and directed by the great Buster Keaton.

I'm reading an account written by one of my ancestors, second cousin 4x removed of his month by month, day by day, hour by hour account of his service as a Union soldier in the Civil War. The many battles he went through in Tennessee and Alabama, including the march through Georgia and the burning of Atlanta. Fascinating reading.
