Sunlight Shadows
Funny what is right in front of your face yet you never notice it.
While waiting for #7 at Nashotah East, I noticed that the sun had created shadows with the rail I.D. marks, accentuating them more than you would typically see. I noticed that one of the rails in the siding is from June 1935, another from 1943.
It is simply astounding that main line freights in 2022 are still traversing across stick rail minted the year Hiawatha trains were first introduced!
