Okay, it's completely corny and it's the wrong state but what I can't get out of my head as I write this post is the old Waylon Jennings song:
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and
Newberry's train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain
Newberry's train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain
I haven't heard a train song in a long time. Train pictures, though, are always at hand. The graffiti-permitted floodwall faces the yard in the first two pictures. The ironwork in the bottom shot forms part of the base of a railroad-only bridge that crosses the Mississippi closer to the Arch.The monument is in the background somewhere but you can't see it in the mist.
Something different to shoot today: a brand new bridge across the big river. It's open to pedestrians today and cars tomorrow. Pix on Sunday morning.

Absolutely love the last one. You've made me want to go and take pictures of trains now.
They have for sure a kind of blues atmosphere. The last one has the most impact for me and the B&W makes it only stronger.
The last one is particularly outstanding, and these work so well in black and white. I look forward to what you've got in store for tomorrow, Bob!
I agree with the above comments regarding the power of the last photo you posted today.
A new bridge over the Mississippi is a big deal. I look forward to your photos. Hope it is a nice day.
Love train songs and train photos and trains, period. I figured you'd be on the new bridge today. I'm looking forward to the photos, Bob!
Bob, your final photo today is a complete winner. Keep it in mind for the competitions you like to enter.
Am so in love with that last shot, I wish I'd taken it :) that's definitely one to remember. I like the others too Bob, they really do give one the feeling of total bleak!
