Thanks for your ideas Tomos and Daniel

The article's going to be published in a book, and so I can't do it 
just the way I'd want to....

The photo I want to reprint is basically a screenshot of this page: 
http://flickr.com/creativecommons/by-2.0/tags/train/page4/

and were I doing it on my own, I'd call it fair use, because it's in a 
scholarly article on distributed narratives, but the publisher want to 
err on the side of caution, so fair enough.

I'm asking Flickr.com for the right to reprint the composite image, and 
figure I should credit the individual photographers - so I guess this 
would be OK?
