Railroad Crossing

Right side of the tracks



Coal cars

Every so often, we wait for a train to pass through the grain elevator hamlet of Kileville, and I do a quick sketch. It's fun to imagine what's in the railway cars, where they came from, and where they are going.

I grew up on sad train songs like Wreck of the Old 97 and Hobo Bill's Last Ride. Railway transportation doesn't seem to have changed much since then. Watching the freight cars roll by takes me on a little trip back in time.
