Workin' on the Railroad

I have always been intrigued with trains and the railroad.  I don't know why, but it is very fascinating to me.  So this past weekend I decided to go shooting since I had to go out anyway to bring some cookies to the Forgotten Felines bake sale, and with gas prices continuing to go up I really have to think about where I am going and what I can photograph along the way.  So fortunately the railroad actually was on the way almost all the way.  So I experimented some and got a few shots which you see here, but I will be going back to do more.  I used flypaper textures on 2 of the photos which I like.  As I was working on the photos I kept singing "I've been workin on the railroad".  Some of you might remember this song.  I thought it might be fun to post the lyrics.  Then you all can be singing it all day.

I've been workin' on the railroad,
All the live long day.

I've been workin' on the railroad,

Just to pass the time away.

Don't you hear the whistle blowing?

Rise up so early in the morn.

Don't you hear the captain shouting

"Dinah, blow your horn?"

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.

Someone's in the kitchen, I know.

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah

Strumming on the old banjo.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o-o-o-o.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.

Strumming on the old banjo.
