Wheels -York Durham Heritage Railrway

 Wheel and shadow on front of train engine

I haven't a clue as to what the wheel does, but I love the shadow.

 See the wheel and shadow at front of engine

Wheels on trailers that haul railway ties

 One trailer was piled upside down on another

In celebration of the old and wonderful "stuff", I  am connecting to Rubbish Tuesday HERE.

    That shadow from the front of the train is wonderful! I guess those trailers can't weigh much, if they can be piled like that!!

    I agree with Sandra. These need to be frames. Great textures too!

    Great shots for the theme! I've always loved trains and wish we had more of them here, but nooooooo. Our politicos years ago decided in favor of their friends in the auto, bus and gasoline bizness to build concrete highways instead. Argh!

    If that wheel was on an airplane, it might be used on takeoff - "Wheels up!"

    We found one of these flatbeds on wheels, built a plywood frame and traveled up on a switchback to a hidden treehouse. Ah... youth.

    These pictures are beautiful! I love trains anyway. I have seen that wheel on a caboose, but have n idea what it does. We sometimes see a little cart riding the rails with tiny wheels it can put up or down, I wonder if it is one of these railroad ties wagons. Your pictures just have wonderful effects! Love the shadow of the wheel!
