I went with Jim Ribar's photo.  I've been in that situation more times than I can remember waiting for my ride to work.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

I'm going to have to think about these for a while before making a final choice.  All are good and, for once, all clearly match the theme.

Went with jay's shot.

As a former ground pounder, walked through scenes like that several time a year.

I think Bob Jordan's picture has the wrong caption.  That looks an awful lot like the Iowa Interstate going through Sheffield, IL.  That "tower" in the picture is/was a grain elevator.

When I think of summer rain I think of one of those pop-up showers.  Enough to get soaked before the sun comes out.

 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Nah.. photo contests aren't my thing.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Yeah, the kind that start right about the time you get halfway between the locomotive and the switch stand!
