Original - The Norwegian State Railways diesel-electric locomotive "NSB Di 4" hauls a passenger train on a stretch of unelectrified track of the Nordland Line. The line crosses the Arctic Circle and is about 729 km long, the longest in Norway, running between Trondheim and Bodø.

Reason: Handsome train, pretty scenery, good EV, great resolution. FP on Commons.

Support Like the EV(multiple articles). IANAP but wonder if some cropping games might make it more stunning. TCO (talk) 20:51, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Regarding the EV, I hate to be a contrarian, but the locomotive is rather small. The image is large. Would a crop, perhaps, improve EV? Spikebrennan (talk) 20:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think a crop would spoil the composition. At the moment, the locomotive has good lead room, and the blue sky at top gives context/scale. Cropping would also reduce some of the EV—the picture is in use in Nordland Line, so the scenery is an important element, too. Maedin\^talk 21:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
