Good eyes, kiddo, there is in fact a conductor, or rail worker walking the line, i wish the pics came up better, but the scanners suckin and the digital isnt that great...werd. Ill try and figure out a way to zoom in on those streaks in a bit for you all..peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaesthebluntedwonder Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 i was looking at this book in the library one day, it was by photographers that would take pictures of certain spots where young kids would go swimming, or by a drive in theatre, or even looking our a window from inside a familys dinning room. anyway, the one thing all these had in common is that there was a train rolling past in every scene. and i think this dates back to the 30's or 40's. amazing stuff and im gonna try to look some of it up so i might have some images comming your way.
