On my walkabout tonight, I had to cross the tracks to get downtown. Just so happened that just as I approached the crossing a locomotive was shunting a few box cars about and blocked the crossing for a few minutes. If there are bad words in any of these photos, let me know.

Thanks. All handheld, f4, 1/125 second and ISO 4,000. Left darkish on purpose. You know? It was night.

Good job as always !
Getting to see anything Railroad makes for a better day and actually getting to see a Freight Train makes it even better.

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

THANKS ! I knew it would be a calendar shot.

Graffiti is good, too; I like the variety of rail-car graffiti.

The funny thing about graffiti is it is one-sided as far as the railcar is concerned; and, the funny thing about that is, if you can find ten photos from all across America, of the same railcar, nine of those photos will show the same side.

I run into this when I start trying to identify a railcar that maybe I cannot make out the entire road-number; if I can match up the graffiti, then I have found my car; and, instead, I find a shot of the opposite side with nary a speck of graffiti.....

Unless it is painted by some redneck from Columbia (KY) that uses plain old redneck words, you don't have to worry too much about offending anyone with graffiti as not even the guy that painted it knows what it means.
