Description There's nothing super-special behind this one. I just happened to be in one of those "me against the world" moods earlier today, and it made me think about how utterly small and insignificant we all are in the grand scope of life. In this sense, I guess, we kind of are the snail in that we are born, we grow, we breed, we die, and we replenish the earth. I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too much. Still, it's food for thought.

Disused sidetrack, Olde Town Gaithersburg, MD. 03/07/2009

Interesting shot.

Is that an ex-military piece of rolling stock?

Thanks.

And yes, it is ex-military rolling stock. It was a troop kitchen car that was converted for use as a MOW car for Western Maryland(K-3008), and now it's currently used as storage for the museum in the old freight house that's behind me in relation to the shot.

Just added you to my "stalking" list!

I worked for IBM, just up 355 on the left hand side of the road. Who do/did you work for?

I work at a kennel about a block up from the station.

And thanks, I just returned the favour.

This is my kind of picture.
I love the little details. Can just hear the gravel crunching under my boots as I step across the sleepers.

More! Give us more!

By your Command.


...that is, as soon as I find locations for more shots like this.
