## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a vertical two-part commemorative railway poster combining realistic photography and minimalist print design, themed around a vintage Japanese electric locomotive and memory.

Canvas: Portrait 3:4 poster, split horizontally into exactly 2 panels of equal width. The top panel is a realistic color photograph; the bottom panel is a retro screen-printed graphic poster on warm off-white paper.

Top panel: Show a large blue-and-cream Japanese electric locomotive in a train depot, viewed from a low front-left three-quarter angle. The locomotive has the visible number plate “EF66 27” on the front and small “JNR” markings on the side. Include overhead catenary wires, metal gantries, rail tracks, gravel ballast, industrial depot buildings, and a partly cloudy blue sky. Place exactly 1 human figure near the right side of the locomotive: {person_description}. Make the locomotive dominate the scene, with realistic daylight, film-photo color, crisp mechanical detail, mild vintage grain, and no motion blur.

Bottom panel: Create a flat two-color graphic interpretation of the top image, like a cyan-blue ink screen print on textured cream paper. Use a large simplified silhouette of the same locomotive, depot structures, catenary wires, and the same single standing person. The train silhouette should occupy the upper and center area, with a dramatic white negative-space cloud or plume shape in front of the train. Keep the bottom panel minimal, poster-like, slightly distressed, with visible paper grain and ink imperfections.

Text content in the bottom panel: Include exactly 6 text elements: 1) large title “{headline_text}” at lower left, 2) subtitle “{train_label}” beneath it, 3) small location line “{location_text}”, 4) small poetic caption “{caption_text}”, 5) centered bottom label “TRACKS OF TIME” with a thin horizontal rule extending right, and 6) small catalog number “No. 6627” at bottom right. Use clean geometric uppercase typography with generous letter spacing.

Constraints: The image must contain exactly 1 locomotive and exactly 1 person. Preserve the horizontal split between realistic photo above and graphic poster below. Do not add extra trains, extra people, logos beyond the specified JNR/train markings, watermarks, or unrelated decorative elements. Keep the mood nostalgic, industrial, quiet, and documentary.
