He is with the guy behind him who has the control box open. He's staying where he is.

Thanks tradio

A good one. I like the space between the guy and the train. It gives the photo that "I missed my train" feeling, although in reality we know he did not.

Thanks for your comments Voss. He looks like he is sort of lost in thought.

Nice--there’s a story here for sure.
Its a story of sorts. The man is there but lost in thought. He is aware of the train approaching but that seems to be something he barely registers. Somehow his state of mind permeates the scene. Thanks for looking and commenting.

After reading the thread, I am more of the mind that this might have been a training moment for "spotting" the train with the platform.
It does remind me when I was training on a trolley some two decades ago. You listen to the sound that the engine makes with your hands at the control.
The shot does present a story and it is done very well.

I appreciate your comments Stephan. Im not sure I grasp what you mean by spotting the train with the platform. I kind of see it as two guys doing a one man job, and one of them has nothing to do, so he is there in body, with his mind somewhere else.

There is a point on the station that the motorman has to stop at, "spot", in order for the doors to line up with the marked entry points. This is also to make certain that the back end is completely within the station.
Isn't a supervisor one who is "there in body, with his mind...." ?
The best part of a story shoot is that it allows the viewer to fill in the "rest of the story".

It reminds me of an old Norman Rockwell painting of a girl at a train station with a suitcase and the way he painted it you can't tell if she is waiting to leave or if she just arrived. :-)

You have me curious. I will have to look for that one!
