Trains tap into some deep American collective memory.  – Dana Frank

 

FOCUS:  Black & White

What is it about trains that strike such a cord of nostalgia?  For as long as I can remember I have heard the train whistle blow as it passes through town several times a day, but most notably late at night.  Whoooooooooot, Whoooooooooot, Whoooooooooot!!  Like baseball and apple pie, this seemingly outdated mode of transportation virtually screams of the ‘Good Ol’ Days’ and ‘Americana’.

  1. Great Photo! I love trains. Torrey also is in love with trains. We took trains in Austria and Czech Republic recently to get around.
