“Train of Thought”

“Railroad trains are such magnificent objects that we commonly mistake them for Destiny.” – E. B. White (1899-1985)

“[W[hat thrills me about trains is not their size or their equipment but the fact that they are moving, that they embody a connection between unseen places.” – Marianne Wiggins (b. 1947, Lancaster, Pa.)

“Is there anyone who has not felt the magnetic attraction of unseen cities, train whistles, the rhythmic chant of wheels on the railway tracks stretching behind you, where you came from, and before you, where you’re headed – who knows to what chance encounters and fresh hopes? Wonder about faraway places is born in us in childhood; and, with me, it never dimmed.” – Lev Kopelev (1912-1997)

As always, we accept all media in every size up to that of our front door, and we encourage artists of all ages and levels of experience.
