Railroad workers

I was on a road trip to my parent's house, and as I went across the railroad tracks I spotted these workers.

I immediately turned around and got out of my car and asked if I could snap a few of them while they worked. From what I could tell they were burning out rivets?

Fantastic! A Photographer friend of mine said this weekend "the measure of a photographer is not what he shoots that is in front of him - but what he shoots that is behind him' - you found and shot what was behind you and there in lies the rub. This series Rocks - Bravo!
