Train, arriving
The Rail Runner train from Albuquerque pulls into the station. It’s a nice way to see New Mexico from a vantage point that doesn’t include driving on an Interstate highway. There are a few places where the route passes through tribal lands, and photography is prohibited; the time I rode the train, as part of a photography class, the conductors kept a close watch on us during that part of the trip. Fifteen photographers and 30 or so cameras had them on high alert…
(Anyone age 62 and older can ride the train free on Wednesdays. Plan accordingly.)

Awesome capture MGH. Wish I could take advantage of a free Wednesday ride.

Well, you can get a day pass for $7, if you purchase it online, so the Wednesday free ride wouldn’t quite cover your other travel expenses to get all the way to New Mexico…

I always love a train ride, Melinda, for many reasons you said. Nice use of black and white, timing, and silhouette. This one is a work of Art!!

I like trains, too – so did my dad and he planned many trips around what trains he could see along the way.
Views from trains are endlessly fascinating, no matter if it’s open country or a bunch of back yards.
