5418 |
Description: |
I only go train chasing at certain times, usually about once a month. However, I never pass up a freebie! I was on my way home, driving across the tracks when I saw this freight coming way in the distance. I parked, got across the tracks to the old Calhoun Freight Depot, and snapped off this unplanned shot of a southbound grain train. |

Man in the Machine |
Description: |
The lure of railroading is the machine - big, heavy monsters that pull thousands of tons of merchandise across thin steel ribbons. It's sometimes easy to forget that there is flesh and blood behind the roar of the engine and the click of steel wheels. Here, a train conductor inspects a passing trian at Hall Siding. |

Locomotion |
Description: |
Anyone who takes a photograph snaps it because we want to freeze a little bit of time. We might want to say "i was there" or "that was cool". Some photographers like to use little tricks, like polarizing fiters, photoshop edits, or the old "pan and scan" method, like seen below. After giving it a try, i've decided that it's nothing to write home to mother about. I like to see my trains crisp and clear, to capture the moment as a clean stop in time. |
