Artist's Comments

A Norfolk Southern general freight gets moving up through the Seven Mile Valley out of Hamilton, Ohio, on the road's New Castle District. MofW equipment on the head-end indicates that this is probably a low priority train, which will have to step aside for the intermodals and the crack Triple Crown road-railers on the way to Muncie, Ind.

This is my favorite line to photograph, especially though the valley here. It was originally a secondary Pennsy branch, and was bought by N&W in 1976 to connect Cincinnati with Ft. Wayne. It went from being a branch with SW1's with a few covered hoppers to 60 mph road-railers. If Conrail kept it, they surely would have tore it up. (Like they did with the parallel NYC line I grew up next to.)

(Sky is played with, having used the GIMP to dress it up and make fake clouds.)

It's beautiful, I like the colours in the sky and I like the colours of the crops. :)

Thank you so much. I played with the colors quite a bit.

I live in Ross
which is right near Hamilton
and Seven Mile,
and I really do think that this picture
shows the
feel of Seven Mile.
It's a really pretty place,
even though it's smack dab
in the middle of
Hicksville.
;P
