It is the ordinary scene that I often
find myself attracted to when doing my photography. The area often
traveled but rarely noticed for more than just a short moment. Had
someone stopped to think about the area they might see there is more
than meets the eye. Places that mean more to days gone by...areas
that might possibly have more history than meets the casual eye
today.
Railroads were once the primary means
of transportation for the American people. Though still active, it
is more in the movement of freight and less in the movement of
people. Many miles of railroad tracks lay idle across our great
nation, symbols of the once ever popular transportation system now
taking a backseat to the concrete ribbons of highways that move us
around nowadays. Along these tracks are many relics of the golden
days of the railroad; signs, signals and support buildings. Like the
tracks they stand near, some are cared for while others are left to
deteriorate in the weather....soon to be nothing more than a memory.
