They once came on frozen rails without pretense to share the jolly with a sustained station bustling with local services for a truly languishing community…
Yesterday, a destitute curmudgeon dropped his found piece of bread and knelt at the very same train car that took him in so many years ago.

You have captured a vivid moment of time in the present through your photographic eye and merged it with a vivid moment of time in the past with your creative ‘inner eye’. In many ways, this reminds me of the James Cameron film The Titanic. I can follow your premise and you have left me wanting to know more…Brilliant – lovely two sentences/story/maybe future movie?

Hi Edward! What a novel blog concept. I picked this post because I love train track shots. They always inspire me to tell myself a story of where those tracks are leading. I don’t know how you stumbled onto my blog, but that’s for stopping by. Have a great weekend š
