Recycled Train Car/ Sepia Scenes
Hey! Where are we going?
Out to eat! This quaint restaurant is beside the Georgina Town Hall in Keswick, Ontario.
And, yes, I coloured the first photo in layers, erasing the sepia from the red lights and train logo in the top layer before combining layers 1 and 2 by "flattening" them.

I'd certainly like to have a meal there. There are some railcars made into individual "cabins" in the Yountville area nearby. We've never stayed in one but did have the opportunity to take a walk through and they were quite snug and nice.

Well done! At first I thought it was a hamburger stop on Hwy 11 going north..I forget the name.Every one stops there!
You did a great job on altering the first image!
Love old train cars...especially those made into restaurants. And this is a very effective treatment of a sepia...that little bit of color is WOW!
EG, love the sepia tone! And the little bit of RED in the first one. Come back to Sepia Scenes for an award for you! :)
Super shotsa and the bit of red is perfect.
Train cars and cafes--perfect. MB
wow Fabulous idea! I bet this restaurant has a fabulous food!
The first picture is outstanding!you are really good with photos!
Wonderful work!

Okay, it's official now. You are a trainaholic! great job with sepia techniques. judi
I like the first picture with the red a lot.
That CN rail car is beautiful, and it is perfect as a restaurant. You could sit at the table, close your eyes and almost imagine being served a sumptuous meal while climbing the Canadian Rockies...
The map of EG is great. I have not been North of Highway 401 and Pearson airport, and I am sure that T.O. is only the beginning of a beautiful Ontario. Cold in the Winter, but beautiful in the summer I imagine...
Very neat! Nice that the railway cars can be used, as restaurant. Even better when they van be used as railway cars... :-)
Oh, I like this...is the food good?
Talking about theme restaurant, the food must be good. Love the sepia toning here.
We have two converted railway cars in town; they're great. You've captured them beautifully.
Nice shots. Is the food any good?
Congrats on your award! Friends are some of the best things in life that could happen to you :). I love the effect you added to the photos. What a great choice to leave some parts in the original colors. Have a wonderful day.
Ha, they really look neat. Very well done sepia. I love that second photo. Looks really classic.
Whenever I visit with you I can't wait to see what will greet me when I scroll down. I love when old train cars are used for other purposes. Great sepia for this week.
How wonderful to make a restaurant from an old railcar.I wish they would save more of them.
Thanks for sharing.

Great shots, EG! I love the light left red - Very cool & great subjects, too, for SS!
Nice work here!
Wow EG, you really are a talented photographer!
I'm all in to old trains, abandoned places.. So your shots is like heaven to me!
I find swedish people a bit stiff when it come to 'thinking' about pictures - using their 'so called' intelligence..
So I join you guys instead on 'Sepia Scenes' and I will start on 'Mono' too..
Have a great day!
Anna :)
We had one of those train car restaurants when I was growing up in Pocatello, Idaho. You made it look spectacular!
I love the way you left the red and the orange. such a great shot. Hope you can stop by to see my sepia scene Thanks!
In NY old train cars like that used to make great diners :). Nice job on the processing.
I love recycled train carriages - there used to be a restaurant near to us that used two of them, linked together.
Nice picture - especially with the crossing sign!
