Transition
I set out to capture a transition from the railroad signaling of Yesteryear (1950s & '60s) to 2011 before it is all gone on the Harvard sub. This location in the sticks has a nice mix of the two -- even the poleline is still in use -- for now. The upcoming "PTC" (Positive Train Control) project that was mandated by the Feds after the 2008 wreck in California is forcing the retirement of this very old (but reliable) equipment.
