 I pass this area every day on my bike ride to work. I often see trains coming through here, but this day was very aware of the fence between me and the train. I purposefully focused on the fence to lend the feeling I had that the tracks were a bit ephemeral and out of reach to me.

Are you depressed or do you want to be a rail worker?
: )

I like this shot a lot - that defocus works well and it's an evocative image.

Wow. Hard-hitting. Really tells the tale. It's not a fantastic photograph technically, but that's a good message.

I like this shot. Besides a good composition, it is well presented.

I really like the metal grid in the foreground. I also like the rails below. The bridges I find distracting.
