Description
Captured back on 5/13/06, at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California.
Don't bother to ZOOM. These low resolution pics required a smaller image for better clarity.
I love this crisscrossing stuff. Gotta be in the business to keep track of the twists and turns of the tracks.
The dual purpose track in the bottom foto is a new one on me.
The Railway Museum is an 80-acre site featuring 200 steam, diesel and electric locomotives as well as passenger and freight cars, streetcars, and other railway equipment. Rail transportation in the West from the late 1870s through the 1960s is on display.
Adios, thankx for coming by, and for any and all favs and noncritical comments.

You did a great job on this fascinating collage Harry. I would love to visit this rail road museum in person.

Yes, narrow and standard gauge is not all that common. I wonder what they run there.

Excellent train tracks collage Harry. I love #2 - it has everything in it.

Wow, the pattern in the second one is amazing...what a wonderful collage, Harry, you give us a great feeling for this place! Well done!

Fascinating place...one I'd like to visit. As for the track in the last photo, I've never seen it before in person but such track can handle both narrow and standard guage engines and cars. Obviously a good thing for a museum that has some of both. Nicely done Harry.

again a great collection captured :)

It looks a huge and fascinating collection Harry.. You need to return someday to get shots of engines and the like! lol Good ones and the track at the bottom? It 'looks' like a narrow gauge of some kind, similar to the ones used in the UK... Rob

Cool collage.

Back to one of my very favorite things, trains...to cool set of shots Harry!

yes, I think bill may be right, that that second rail in the last shot could be to handle more than one guage. (I thought, probably wrongly, that it might have been a city transit line, with electrified 3d rail, but I doubt that's right.) This series is a real train cornucopia, and you've really captured the 'din' of these places, with train cars all over, and---as in 2---the wonderful counterpoint of trains coming at you from different angles. The 3d shot is almost an abstract of lines and jutting "impositions": That wall that cuts into the shot is great. Very dynamic. The 4th is more of the 'symmetry' in train yards (semi-symmetry, but still). And the last has a wonderful old feel & tilt to it; and the yellow of the soil goes well with the building in the background...Really, these are very rich shots, harry, and some of these have a wonderful rail-cocophany, and at the same time feel very bleak. Love the details you captured. (We have huge trainyards in chicago, since it was the rail capital of the U.S., eons back. One of these days I'm going to get into some of those yards and shoot. They're graveyards too, but they look simply enticing from afar.) You did this place a great service, back in 2006. And your shots have real clarity.
