Seeing Images; Railway Photographs without Trains.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

New England can be a challenging place to make railway photographs. While it provides endless quaint and picturesque settings, and in the autumn features wonderful light and bright foliage, compared with many other places, train movements are sparse, and simply finding trains on the move can be difficult.<\/p>\n

So why wait for trains to make interesting railway images? I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Over the last three decades I\u2019ve exposed tens of thousands of railway images in this region. And while I often capture trains in their environment (and on the move), I don\u2019t rely upon trains to make images.<\/p>\n

Below are selection of images exposed while driving around central New England observing railways.<\/p>\n

The trains do run. Off in the distance, the sounds of Electro-Motive diesels reverberate off distant hills, a whistle blows, and soon headlights illuminates the rails. Later posts will focus on the trains; at work, in the light and on the move.<\/p>\n
