Locomotive 15 is a restored steam engine on a roadside monument in Riobamba — a tactile subject for heritage and urban photography. Shoot wide low-angle frames to emphasize scale and rust textures, include the surrounding plaza and distant Chimborazo on clear days. Best light: golden hour (sunrise/sunset) for warm metal highlights or overcast for even detail. Easily accessible on foot from central Riobamba with street parking nearby; no entry fee. Weekdays are quieter; respect local memorials.
