In December, a young gentlemen had asked me if I had hopped freight trains after perusing my railroad photography captures. While the thought of it crosses my mind from time to time, I just haven’t grown the cojones to do it. While it would make for one hell of a creative adventure, the idea of legal problems, or even death due to negligence, outweigh (at least for now), the chances of a successful excursion. As February approaches, I’m slowly beginning to shift from hibernating, to actively creating once again. A recent trip to Livingston, Montana, brought me as close as I could be to these powerful machines, without having to trade in my sanity, for the insanity.
