I snapped this picture after having just gotten my new camera. I was sitting at the tracks and could not resist taking the picture even though I was a bit nervous because there was only one car behind me with a couple of guys in it and nothing else around but desert. I am only a little paranoid. They may have looked rough, but they were probably heading to a Bible Study. And I got the pic! 🙂

Great shot … it meets the challenge beautifully!
Thanks. It’s not the one I was looking for, but I love this perspective and the uniform coloring of the cars. They did it just for me.
Very nice picture. It caught the near and the far. My boys used to really like trains,but then they discovered birds. : )
The sky was pretty that day, as well as the uniformity of the cars. It was a fun catch.
This great photograph has a very prairie feel to it. Love it. Virginia
Thanks. The soft sunset light makes it inviting I think, too.
This is such a great photo for the challenge. Love the warm lighting on the colors.
Totally an accident of being there in capturing moment.
The perfect photo for the Weekly Challenge! But be careful. You are reminding me of foreign correspondents who risk their lives for the perfect shot. 🙂
Yeah, that crossed my mind as a career option because I am oh so brave . . . not!
that is a great shot…and I would have thought the same as you about the isolation. For sure.
I love shooting in out of the way places, but it does make me feel a bit vulnerable sometimes when I am concentrating on the shot. I need a roady.
I LOVE trains! Great shot!
Thanks. It was a fun happenstance.
It puts life into perspective.
🙂
Love this!
Thanks. It was a fun capture.
Beauty of a shot! My 4-year-old son – the train buff – said, “Where’s the engine?”
Tell him it took a bit to get my camera out! 🙂
Nice composition.
Thank you!
What a great interpretation of the theme. Beautiful photo!
Thank you!!
