Front End

The engine of yesterday's train.

Train Video

My camera also shoots video.  I don't do a lot of video but I thought a brief train video would be interesting - ok, maybe not interesting, but different.  Turn your volume way up and you'll get a feel of standing next to the tracks.

A Tagger's Canvas

As we sat at a train crossing waiting for a 100+ car freight train to clear the highway, I noticed a lot of "art" on the cars. I have to say some of it was pretty interesting. I can't say I understood all of it - but it was appealing to look at. There was the occasional "f*** the cops" message, but other than those it took some talent to do the work - and I imagine most of it done in the dark. The train companies should just give up and hire the taggers to decorate the cars. It would add jobs to the economy, enhance the look of the boring freight car, and make the wait at the crossings interesting. Just a thought...
