I'm a total sucker for any train photograph, and this photo is no exception. I love this composition and subject! Very unique. I think the grain in the photo actually adds to the character and overall feel of this photo. GREAT work! 8
This picture intrigued me to the point that I asked a friend about it... This is what he sent back to me...
"The wood between the rails is to make some sort of level crossing for road vehicles or people. You can see that there are some cross beam on the outside of the rail on the right side of the picture. There are many of those level crossing in a switch yard to allow for passage of service vehicles such as pickup trucks.
I would guess that this line is in Germany. It is certainly a museum line because there is a steam engine (we see only the light grey back of it).
The German railway system of the 1930s( the Deutsche Reichbahn) had a large number of switchyard steam engine of the 0-6-0 variety in light grey color lined with black lines.
