    love this,

    for some reason many folk avoid shots of plain ole "objects" yet these are usually the most interesting. the combination of color, texture and the photographer's freedom to compose: which way is up?

    thanks for the post

    It is amazing to think how important this small, easily overlooked and apparently neglected piece of equipment is. Someone should shoot some WD40 on that thing!

    Nice image. This is so full of color and texture and a great reminder that photography is not about what you see but what you look at.

    Oh my Granddaddy worked as a switchman for the Missouri- Pacific Railroad all his life. Sadly I never knew exactly what he did when he went to work each afternoon. Maybe this was part of his job.
    Thanks DL,
