I made a recent trip down to Essex, Connecticut to visit the old steam railroad there. While my goal was to get some landscape photos from the train ride, I found myself much more interested in the train and the train cars themselves. They were amazing to look at, full of history, texture and details.

I spent most of the actual ride marveling at the inside of the car I was riding in. Rich in color and texture, I could not wait for the ride to end. At the end of the ride, I asked the young lady working there if I could spend a few minutes getting a few shots and she agreed to let me shoot the passenger compartment while she cleaned the small kitchen. With only a few minutes, I set up my gear and fired off a few shots. I hope you enjoy this shot. To see more of the shots that I got that day, you can check out the set for that day on my Flickr account.
