Bygone Era

Inside an old passenger train at the Union Pacific railyard on Galveston Island, Texas.

Can anyone tell me anything about these cars? See previous photos for markings.

**Update**

Thanks to laanba for finding the link. I'm curious to why its been "abandoned" in the Union Pacific railyard if the museum owns it -- and the UP yard is no where near the museum. Empty beer bottles litter the inside of it.

    Great angle. Other than that when were those colors acceptable for a passanger train?

    Excellent shot. You have a fuji and a canon?! How did you get those great colours? Any software involved?

    was this x-proed? Colors and composition are amazing

    adri saves the day: nope, no "photoshop" or other improvements at all. This one is straight from the camera.

  20. ניקולס (44 months ago | reply)

    mik1of3 I think its still there. It most likely got flooding, but since there wasn't much/any wave action, its unlikely it was moved from its spot.

  21. View Asskew (44 months ago | reply)

    i meant if it was cross processed :>

  22. ניקולס (44 months ago | reply)

    adri saves the day: sorry, its been a long day at work...lol... Nope, no cross processing...
