RAILROADS

Moving on. I'm not particularly a railroad aficionado, other than having commuted to high school on the New York subway. I've loved trips on the TGV in France and the Shinkansen in Japan but the U.S. has nothing that compares. Of course, before the day of ubiquitous air travel it's how we got around. St. Louis' Union Station was one of the great junctions of the nation.

I went out yesterday trying to shoot a railroad event worth seeing but had limited success due to crowds and the heat. I'm going to make another attempt this morning and hope to have something to show tomorrow. This old passenger car parked behind Union Station will do for today.

9am is too early for even a chance to see the Big Boy.

A good shot of this one.
