The Yards

In the US, a B&W can really capture the bleek, desolate, industrial feeling of a switching yard but its so inadequate for capturing the atmosphere of a similar Thai yard.

For instance, the intentional landscaping of colorful blooms are equally celebrated on the color schemes of the Thai Railway passenger cars.

The B&W scenes that include people are an obvious exception.

Sorry I can't seem to rotate this one:

Yours looks like a toy train from dreamland to me, A.

In french it's a draisine and not a draisienne as I wrote before; I don't know the word in english;

it's a carriage used by workers on the line ;

One of my grand father was one of the ingeneer who did the plans for electrification of the west lines in France;

it was before the 2nd world war ; the SNCF didn't exist yet .

Sai_Yok terminus

This is my first shot from the largest train graveyard I've ever seen. It's located somewhere between Phitsanulok and Uttaradit far away from civilisation.

It feels quasi melancholic to realise these trains are dead already and will probably never leave their tracks. Hence the darkness.

A station somewhere in the countryside;

Children leaving the train ; they are going at school

Tham_Krasae Station -- Kan'buri province

My little boys favorite train

Kanchanaburi -- River Kwai Station a long time ago , 8 or 9 years ago ...

Bridge over the River Khlong

Not quite sure if that would work.

But it does show that Thailand isn't the only place where strange things happen.
