Word Processor of another Era

Most of the train cars that you could wander through at the museum had some sort of a display set up in them. Some where very traditional, semi-informative item/picture with placard, others were extremely anachronistic (modern-day ball caps and toy electric trains), and others were simply decorated with items that might typically have been found aboard in the days the coach was operating. Those ones, by and large, were the best.

This shot was taken in the Royal Hudson coach car (the Royal Hudson itself was not available/on display), and I must say that I had a lot of fun processing it. This is the shot I was working on the other night that didn't come out the way I'd expected; I took another shot at it tonight and figured out what I was doing wrong, and I like this result quite a bit, certainly better than the two earlier versions.

I think it's fair to say, though, that this one is much more heavily Photoshopped than most of the other pictures that I post here. I imagine that Dennis, my fellow photographer on this trip, would call this an illustration, rather than a photo due to the amount of processing involved.
