This WA has had me stymied - ironically, since (long ago) I've both worked for the railroad and flown small planes - but there have been some good entries submitted...too bad I didn't think of them first

Thank you for your consideration...

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

Nice shot with a moody feel. I like the grain. Didn't know your were a pilot. I am a private pilot as well. But I'm not a train driver

Thanks, Mark; I'm usually more concerned with removing grain than adding it, but the heat shimmer was incredible at the distance I was shooting from, so this was one solution...

Now, I never said I drove trains; I actually worked in a Southern RR yard in the early 70's...I flew for a few years in the 80's, then was really poor for a while and couldn't afford it...now I'm too old and stupid .

Cool effect, looks like movie film capture from the 1920's. All you need is an old hobo sneaking onto the box car.

Thanks for the kind words, guys; I waited for a human figure (ideally between the two rows of cars), but the only people who showed up were security, understandably just checkin' me out - I was on public land, but had been there a while...
