New rails, rusting outdoors, stacked and ready at the railroad repair yard in Ibarra. Ecuador is rebuilding several scenic routes that had fallen into disrepair over the years and closed. A few passing trains will clean that rust right off.
65 years ago a train with POWs as well as jewish prisoners from KZ Mühldorf (most of them survived Ausschwitz) to KZ Dachau stopped at exactly this dead rails. The responsible SS men set the prisoners free because they thought the war was over. Some other SS men came, shot their comrades and many of the prisoners.
Four days after the masacre of Poing WW2 was over in Europe.
Poing was a backwater then, some of its inhabitants hided the prisoners others hunted them just like some deer.
Today it is a village providing some thousand jobs in multiple high tech companies, which settled there. My lab is 100 meters from this scene. I did not know that for a long time, people do not talk about that.
This would have fit the black white red topic at the thematorium in two different ways.
Maybe its better not to do that for a contest.
The rails are off and there is no coming back from it. It is true, the rails are off and the trains are silent, the whistles are no more. It is sad sad sad

NS 952, a northbound MoW rail train breaks into the dead period at Spring City. Normally trains do not run this time of day unless they are extra trains, so that signal maintainers can check wayside crossing gates and such. However, 952 is an extra train and must get this string of welded rail to its next destination where it will be placed to safely move more NS trains. Leading this string of rails is a classic EMD SD60 locomotive with a squeaky old cast Nathan P5 airhorn.
