Colored pencil. This is still in the train caboose kitchen
No more trips for this caboose left alone retired abandoned and vandalized yet still gets to see the trains as they zoom beside on a daily basis.
Graffiti spray painted on the side of a train
This is one of the rail cars outside the Sacramento Rail Museum. I was deeply disappointed when the caboose vamoosed! I just looked up one day and thought the train had forgotten its tail somewhere but they ALL did. Of all the rail cars, the caboose was the most interesting for me because it seemed so important to make sure the train stayed “healthy” from the back side too. And it always had the railroaders who smiled and waved back, probably because they knew they were “letting” traffic go across the tracks soon. :-) Since they’ve disappeared, I’ve certainly heard of plenty crashes from cars or entire trains hitting the rear of other trains. Cost cutting probably killed cabooses but I’m glad I got to see them before they were dumped.

I work in an industrial area and drove by this on my lunch break. I was tempted to pull off in my high heel shoes and photograph it, but I thought it would be better to make the hike through the gravel on the weekend with better shoes on. When I walked up to it, there was a man sitting in the shade of it on a gutted out car seat wearing a straw hat and coveralls. He and his lady friend were drinking a big jug of water. It was one of the hottest days of the year. He asked what I was doing. I said I wanted take photographs. “Of this old thing?” he asked. “Yup,” I said. “I’m suppose to be painting this building,” he said. “It sure is hot out,” I said. “Yup,” he said. The couple told me that the caboose had been burned several times. The man pointed to the ground and said, “There’s one of the cushions right there.” I looked at my feet to see a charred caboose seat, or what was left of it. Cool.

I, of course, had to go in the caboose. It was filled with graffiti. This picture makes me feel like it’s in motion.

What is it about trains? Something about them is so romantic, you see scenes you normally wouldnt see riding in a car. Maybe it’s the sound of the locomotive, the rocking of the car you’re in, the overall atmosphere. / This was shot in West Viriginia, I insisted on doing at least one train ride, especially when this particular one was just 2minutes from where my friend lives. Quite a challenge hanging over in the open car we were in trying to get just that right angle with the right light. The colors were spectacular while I was in WV. Shot this in SS mode with SS set at 1/500 (had to compensate for moving and me hand holding) / F-stop at F 5.6, / ISO at 400, / focal length at 70mm, / and exposure compensation at 0

The tiny railroad station at Prince is easy to reach from southern West Virginia’s tourism hub: Beckley. This Amtrak station along the old C&O Railroad tracks still provides passenger train service to the area, a few times a week. / While there are still a few people living in Prince, chances are you’ll feel all alone here. Park at the train station and explore the tracks, but keep in mind a train could come by at any time as you can see pictured here. The Prince train station provides a few great photo opportunities. More smoke was added in the front of this image. Sepia treatment.

Stop the car!!! On the way to Rickett’s Glen waterfalls with some fellow PA photographers…. everyone agreed we had to stop the car for pictures of these Catawissa Cabooses. We arrived at the falls more than an hour later than expected, but got some great photos along the way. / Taken 10/26/09 along Route 42 just north of Catawissa, PA, along the Susquehanna River.
