An of uncertainty and hope.

I've got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy

Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes, oh-oh

When the whistle blows, I've gotta go

Lordy, lordy, I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues.

 

Doc Watson

Down around the corner, half a mile from here

See them long trains run, and you watch them disappear

Without love, where would you be now

Without love.....

The Maeklong train passing through 'Talat Rom Hup' (umbrella pulldown market).

 

Wikipedia: Samut Songkhram's main station, Maeklong railway station, is on the Maeklong Railway. The railway is known for its route through the Maeklong Railway Market. It is one of the largest seafood markets in Thailand, and is centered on the Maeklong Railway's track. Whenever a train approaches, the awnings and shop fronts are moved back from the rails, to be replaced once the train has passed.

long black train

josh turner

 

There's a long black train

Coming down the line

Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying

Rails of sin only evil remains

Watch out brother for that long black train

Look to the heavens

You can look to the skies

You can find redemption

Staring back into your eyes

There is protection and there's peace the same

Burnin' your ticket for that long black train

'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say

Victory in the Lord

Cling to the Father and his holy name

And don't go riding on that long black train

There's an engineer on that long black train

Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain

He's just a waitin' on your heart to say

Let me ride on that long black train

But you know there's victory in the Lord I say

Victory in the Lord

Cling to the Father and his holy name

And don't go riding on that long black train

Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away

It sounds so good

But I must stay away

That train is a beauty making everybody stare

But its only destination is the middle of nowhere

But you know there's victory in the Lord I say

Victory in the Lord

Cling to the Father and his holy name

And don't go riding on that long black train

I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train

Yes watch out brother for that long black train

That devil's a drivin' that long black train

An unexpected find that made me smile.

 

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

I was bemoaning the fact that I've never been in the right place at the right time to photograph this train. Then, there it was, racing to Sheringham. It's the North Norfolk Railway, known as the Poppy Line. Straight from the camera

A view from the Nana BTS station. The BTS is an elevated train transit system in Bangkok and is not to be confused with the Bangtan Boys, South Korean popular boy band also known as BTS! I might add that it's a cheap and excellent way to get around this city known for it's horrendous traffic jams.

One look at Saul Leiter's images -

my view opened to a new vision.

Normally run as a small train ride through the Mail Rail tunnels, part of the network has been converted to allow maintenance of these trains. As we can see in the distance the tracks have been raised allowing access to the underside of the trains.

 

The Mail Rail tunnels were used to transport mail all around London on a network of automated underground electric trains. It opened in 1927, and only ceased service in 2003.

I am experimenting with different cameras

Too habituated to my SLR Nikon....

This Kodak brings a poetic shift to my recent photos...

Train La Brillanne

 

A train of mixed cars and media passes through the backyards of a small farm town! Clickety-clack!

“Train, train, coming ‘round, ‘round the bend

‘Round, ‘round the bend

Train, train, coming ‘round, ‘round the bend

‘Round the bend

Well, it took my baby, but it never will again

Never will again…” Mystery Train

Once the train completes work at Yulee and Fernandina Beach, it'll return to Waycross in the late afternoon as the A773.

 

In the foreground is old US Route 17, used at the time (and now) as a fishing pier. Hiding behind leader 3136 is the bridge tender's cabin. As an interesting operating note, this was a "one-manpower" bridge. Opening it for river traffic entailed walking to the center of the span, inserting a long wrench-like tool into a gear in the deck, and walking in circles until the span rotated into the clear. Hell of a way to make a living!

Located here in Colorado at Trout lake. In 1891 the railroad track went around the lake in preparation for the steep climb up Lizard Head Pass.

Ready for its journey to Soller. The Soller train in Majorca.

Color Efex's Black and white Solarizarion + light toning

 

The original image was taken in the afternoon. The buildings in the background were blurry (on purpose, I was aware that the train was moving), and the background was dark red with greenish areas. Rails were brown and fuzzy.

My first attempt was to turn it to black and white. Rails were nicer but building were quite white and blurry.

I accidentally applied Solarization to the color image and the result was quite nice. It looks very dramatic, like Film Noir. Solarization provides a much nicer mysterious background and floods rails and seat with light.
