A station that time has mostly forgotten all about stands waiting for a time that may never come. These old buildings and rails remember an era where hundreds of happy faces passed through here on their way home or on their holidays: They dream of a time long since passed. The Summer sky presents its amber glow to the station and casts its pigment all over the scene, highlighting the old charm of the woodwork and enhancing the shaddows. There is a romantic stillness captured within this scene. It is easy for us to imagine a crowd of people gathered waiting on a station that looks imaculate and yet, we can also see that this truly is the End of the Line.

Abandoned rail road tracks in Palmetto, Florida.
The path to faith ….. the bridge to somewhere ….. Taken with Nikon D200 and Tokina 12-24mm f/4 lens. HDR processing applied.
From a Collaboration with Mel Brackstone a great friend and a wonderful exponent of the satanic Art that is known as Photoshop.
Done in ultra contrast HDR. The camera was set on the rail, and not much attention was paid to the alignment of the trees and the rail until I put it on my computer and viewed it full size. The trees line up perfectly and reflect quite nicely on the smooth shiny steel of the rail.

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.

The road to California is supposed to be paved with Gold. But these days the road to California is paved with poppies and lots of them. Even the railroad tracks are paved with poppies. This has been an amazing Spring for wild flowers here in the Northern part of California. Taken near Wheatland in Northern California with a Canon Rebel XSi with a 55-250mm lens. Yes these tracks are periodically used so I was lucky to get the shots that I did.

...And the CP (Canadian Pacific) takes it by a nose with the CN (Canadian National) chugging alongside. I live in a little mountain town where the trains stop for a few minutes and crews do a changeover then stay in the bunkhouses on either side of the river for a few hours to rest up for their next trips. / These freight trains are heading west towards Vancouver. /

The New York Central Railroad (reporting mark NYC), known simply as the New York Central in its publicity, was a railroad operating in the Northeastern United States. Headquartered in New York, the railroad served most of the Northeast, including extensive trackage in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Massachusetts, plus additional trackage in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Its primary connections included Chicago and Boston. The NYC’s Grand Central Terminal in New York City is one of its best known extant landmarks. In 1968 the NYC merged with its former rival, the Pennsylvania Railroad, to form Penn Central (the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad joined in 1969). That company soon went bankrupt and was taken over by the federal government and merged into Conrail in 1976. Conrail was broken up in 1998, and portions of its system was transferred to the newly-formed New York Central Lines LLC, a subsidiary leased to, and eventually absorbed by CSX. That company’s lines included the original New York Central main line, but outside that area it included lines that were never part of the NYC system.

An old freight station..remembering the past in Ohio

FEATURED IN IMAGEWRITING (2/24) PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP PLEASE VIEW LARGE. / I was directed by long time citizens of this quiet old railroad town of North Bend, BC to another very old local heritage home that sits right beside the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks. It’s a house that is definitely time-worn and no doubt full of stories, family memories and a rich history spanning many decades. I expected to find this house empty like Mr. Lee’s old home…but a light glowed warmly in the front porch, a bird cage hung by the front door and a vase full of flowers sat cheerily in the window. I couldn’t help but think of that very old song that both Tom Jones and Johnny Cash made famous….to name but a few! _“The old home town looks the same, / As I step down from the train, / And there to meet me is my mama and my papa. / Down the road I look, and there comes Mary, / Hair of gold and lips like cherries. / It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home. The old house is still standing, / Though the paint is cracked and dry, / And there’s the old oak tree that I used to play on. / Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, / Hair of gold and lips like cherries. / It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they’ll all come to see me, / Arms reaching, smiling sweetly. / It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me, / At the four gray walls that surround me, / And I realize that I was only dreaming. / For there’s a guard, and there’s a sad old padre, / Arm in arm, we’ll walk at daybreak. / Again, I’ll touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they’ll all come to see me / In the shade of the old oak tree, / As they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home.”_ / (written by Claude “Curly” Purman, Jr. in the early 1960’s.) / / layers and textural effects applied in CS4
