Everybody loves trains... who hasn't, late in the dark, heard a train whistle and wondered where it was going... who was on it, what were they doing and could I come too?
Nice thought provoking photo, Mac!
Thanks Fuminous.
I grew up on the Ohio River in Pittsburgh in the 1950s and '60s. In those days thehe sounds of trains running along side the river and tugs moving barges on the river were always present. At night in the summer with the windows open they sang me to sleep.
