Nostalgia & History > Dark dank gloom in a cold RR yard

Isolation. Cold January air. Harsh yard lighting. Unfriendly darkness. Lonely shanty post. Electric light & warmth. Hunker down. Dread the call to go back out.

Waiting for daylight…

1. Santa Fe yard scene in Emporia, KS in the dank, chilly gloom of the wee hours of January 8, 1979.

Thanks for the hot coffee!
