very awesome. one of my favorites so far

Artist Reply: Thank you for your nice comments Dawn. Yes, this is near the top of my list of favorites as well. I like it when photographers bring out the rich blacks in monochrome images.

Great shot! I love stuff like this. Takes me back.

Artist Reply: Thanks very much, Tim. Yes, there's nothing like trains and railroad cars (and ships and planes) for striking that nostalgia chord. Check out Mark Karvon's portfolio. Glad you stopped by.

Worked a lot of years as a conductor. Feel like that old van now. Very nice indeed.

Artist Reply: Thank you Barry. Hope the chord I touched has good memories attached. I love trains. Check out Stanton Manolakas' paintings: he did a series on trains. First rate. Glad you stopped by.

I have just enjoyed your slide show from start to finish and you are an exceptional photographer. Your subjects are diverse and I love how you see the world thru your lens. This photo is terrific!!

Artist Reply: Thank you so much for your encouraging comments, Mary. I really appreciate the feedback I get from so many great photographers and artists on AW. Glad you stopped by to take a look.

This one caught my eye right away as a favorite, because i like trains, and also knowing it was taken in my home state. You should check out "the train photos of O. Winston Link".

Artist Reply: Thanks very much for the comment Jim, and thanks for the referral to the Link pictures. Very interesting indeed. Glad you stopped by to take a look. If you're ever in East Windsor, check out the Trolley Museum on Route 140.

Wonderful, dark imagery and effects.

Vilma Rohena 31 Jan 2009

This is an amazing image! It's like a scene from a scary movie. A ghost train perhaps. Great, great shot!

Artist Reply: Yes, I guess there's a "dark side" to this image, too. The good news is that I didn't hear any scratching sounds or knocking coming from inside. Glad you like it.
