I really liked Kieth Schmidt's photo of the 4449. The photo looks like it could have been taken in the setting for a wide variety of mysterious events, or a movie promo shot (except for that wire running thru the image) for a spooky film set on or near a railroad.
I can't say I was too crazy about any of the entries, but thought that Tom Nanos' submission came closest to fitting the theme for the week. He got my vote.
Tom in Nashville
A difficult subject theme for sure … But, Tom Nanos’ shot seemed most eerie to me.
Hey, want something really eerie? Check this photo out:
The residence on the left is angled, and unlike the others on the street. In the early- to mid-1970’s, Santa Fe Railway’s line through the famous Pasadena, CA (town of the nationally televised Rose Parade on New Year’s Day) was relocated because of a freeway construction project. Now, the eerie part: Can you image all the famous starlets and handsome stars that have gone through in the past what is now this house’s front room … or bedroom?
Getting back to the theme of this thread … I wonder if Tom Nanos had anyone with him when he snapped his ghostly photo …
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K.P.’s absolute “theorem” from early, early childhood that he has seen over and over and over again: Those that CAUSE a problem in the first place will act the most violently if questioned or exposed.
I couldn't vote for any of them. None really seemed to it the theme at all.
I thought someone would at least submitted a photo of an Erie painted engine.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any

How about a haunted tunnel?
