Trains

in Black and White

Part I (*that should keep you hooked up..*)

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon an intruiging place. A few kilometers from a factory where we load cargo for one of our clients I noticed from a distance what looked like an old passenger train. I kept the location firmly in the back of my mind for a possible photo adventure.

And ‘Yiehaa’- today was my lucky day!!

I was too late for loading. The factory is closing at 16.00 h and guess what time I showed….pfff, you know what-nevermind… not important. A window of opportunity opened, that was important!

I quickly parked my truck, grabbed my camera-stuff and walked to where I thought I saw the old and rusty vehicle.

For heavens sake… It turned out to be a photographic heaven….

This spot appeared to be a scrapyard for trains. That makes it highly attractive for graffiti artist, a few vagabonds, and a wandering photographer.

Of course I am undoubtly a superhero who is afraid of nothing or nobody, yet this place gave me oddly enough a bit of the creeps… (but hey- it’s for Snapshots…so I’ll keep going! For the greater good….uh-huh!)

A final resting (or ‘rusting’) place for trains- even highspeed trains remain here.

The Glory Days are over…and does give a certain sadness to the surrounding.

‘Danger de Mort’- Life Threat. One of the scary parts of this afternoon- did they shut the power down….. or not?!
