the waiting

The train station in Lamy was busier than maybe I would have expected, with a smattering of people waiting on the 12:58 train from Albuquerque. There was the stationmaster, who told me that the station was “sometimes busy.” There was a woman with a ticket to Chicago and quite a bit of luggage. And there was this guy – and when the train arrived, I saw him helping a very old woman off the train.

Someone Waits

I don’t have the slightest recollection of a person standing outside the window when I made this image, and am not sure I believe there was, despite strong photographic evidence to the contrary.
