I consider railway vehicles that were built when I was in high-school as ‘old’ and noteworthy for their longevity. (40 years in service).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Railway vehicles that match me in age are stalwart members of the railway fleet, honorable for their continued operation, and definitely worthy of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Railway vehicles that older than me fall into various categories, but anything that was in motion 80 years ago, used to qualify as ‘ancient’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this photo of an ATAC Series tram on my second visit to Rome in 2017. This was exposed at Portamaggiore. Beyond the tram is a vestige of a Roman wall from the 3rd century. By that measure, the tram, built in the mid-1940s, seems nearly new! Sort of puts everything in perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exposed using my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
