Look at how the two tracks in the front go from heavy rail to maybe 90lb rail. Interesting.

Nice picture!

Another shot and angle I've wanted to get for years, but the oppurtunity never arose for me. Nice work!

I hope the shop is a model railroad hobby shop!

Nice angle, Nick. The joint bars that allow for a change in rail size are known as composition joint bars; or, comp joints for short. It's not uncommon to see smaller rail "comp up" to larger rail at a road crossing. There's a Mexican Restaurant on the opposite side of the locomotive who's back door clears a passing train by inches when it's opened.
