chasing trains

My drive this morning seemed especially beautiful, and included amongst other things, horses, golden wheat fields and a speeding train.

Poetic.

I have been enamored with the idea of chasing trains since watching the movie The Station Agent a few years ago.The movie is charming and the way in which it was shot is captivating with a lovely story to boot.

A train passed me as as was sitting at a stop light.

The light turned green and I quickly rushed past. 

A few miles up the road I pulled off and waited breathlessly with my camera  in hand for the train to re- appear. Soon the ground beneath my feet started to vibrate and with a rush, there it was!

My heart was pounding  with excitement as the train roared past.
