PBW: Training Day

When I was a child, the notion of public transportation was a daunting one. Planes crashed. Boats sank. Trains derailed. In time, I got over those notions, especially the last one. My high school was a private one a few towns away, and there weren't always enough students in my district to merit a bus. Even the years we did have a bus, we only had one, so if I stayed for after school activities, I'd have to take the train home. It was fun, especially once I discovered a local comic book store and started saving some of my lunch money for reading material for the ride home. I decided a few weekends ago to find material for a Photo Blog Wednesday by driving along the shore and tracing the nearest train line back to its origin point(or the end-of-the-line depending on your point-of-view). Not far from the station, a fenced-off area heralded the eventual site of a rail road museum, so I'll definitely go back when that's complete--right now the site is pretty sparse. I moved on to the actual station, past an open gate warning about “slow employees” and while I didn't encounter any of them, I did get some good shots of the inert train:
