This Space for Rent

Railroad picture of the day

The best and I were planning on going for a short walk on the Eastbank Esplanade, and just as we found a parking place we saw the nearby railroad crossing gates start to drop. I grabbed my camera, jumped out of a car, and got a picture as the lead Twinkie blew through the crossing at track speed.

Looks like Amtrack making its way through a very old town, probably back east, some of the buildings are so old, they are hoping the engineer doesn't blow the horn and strike the final blow that will collapse them! I used to live in a town in NY like the one in the picture, complete with a mess of dangling wires. Bob
