Going With The Train Theme

In that yesterday's photo was a caboose, I thought I could keep the theme alive and do another train related photo.  So have some oil tankers.  They have been sitting in the woods by some old train tracks near my house...my brother found them fairly recently and showed them to me.  Now I shall show them to you.


Tankers in the Trees
I don't know when these were last used, but I doubt it was very recent, whenever it was.  The weeds and bushes have grown around them, making it seem like it has been years, many years, since they've been touched.

Ephrata's Caboose

Train tracks used to run through Ephrata, PA.  There are still signs of this...you just have to be observant....most of the time.  Sometimes you can just look for the massive thing in the middle of the town, which happens to be hard-to-miss and bright red...


The Reading Railroad
A soft, toy-like look lends itself nicely to the nature of the caboose.  The bright colors in the photo make it look like it should be part of a model railroad.
