Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

It is funny, it almost looks photoshopped.  The clarity of some parts of the image seems inconsistent.

Photoshopped ..... I agree, there is no evidence of wind in the smoke plume yet it disappears about 18 cars behind the loco, it just does not look right to me.

The smoke plume is being blown behind the cloud and can be seen extending towards the line pole at far right.

It might just be the contrast of the exposure, which is always heightened in B/W.

I still think it looks a little surreal.  Great image though.

Ok I will wear that. The camera must have been a good one and the person using it was a talented user.
