As many children do, I grew up with an interest in these magnificent monsters. Being up close to them for the first time since I was a child brought me to realize the cars are much larger than they look from afar. There’s a rush of excitement being near them and feeling the thunderous roar of the rail car links compressing and expanding as the locomotive pushes and pulls the cars to organize them by destination.
Disclaimer: The railroad system is another sector that’s observing post-9/11 “overcautionism.” Don’t make a spectacle of yourself if you want to observe these beauties closer. The area is under human video surveillance at all hours. Also residents in this neighborhood are vigilant and they will notice and observe you. Resist the urge to go between the plethora of tracks for any reason, it’s not only trespassing but extremely dangerous. Multiple locomotives work to reorganize trains and are coming and going at all times.

Thanks. I wanted to go down there for some time, knowing it would be easy to get something at least decent. Amongst some other good stuff waiting for me to process, I have some more train pictures from future nights.
