Play Me a Train Song

Trains are an important part of the economy here. Not passenger trains but freight trains or coal trains.

Other worlds can be seen here.

Terrific image with great detail and good light. Trains of course, make me think of train songs, of which there are such an abundance. V

I like the matte black of the wheel, as if it is covered in years worth of coal dust.

We don't have too many trains here... But there are a few old ones kept in good condition for rides on though

Wonderful use of light and shadow. Although made of steel, the wheel has a soft look to it. V

Superb image! I love the sculptural light, the strong shadows and the wonderful tonal range with velvety blacks. Love the framing and the excellent detail. V++

Not something you'd like parked on your toe! I like the B & W it enhances the shadows.
