Rail Spotting- Not just action

One of our favourite activities for photography is rail spotting. It can be an experience filled with much enthusiasm and wonder.  When there is constant action at every minute while clicking away, it's an endless joyous experience for those who love it. Trains racing up and down the tracks, the wind blowing as a line of freight or passenger cars fly right by. Locomotives pulling or pushing with high might, there bells ringing as a sign of life, there horns blasting as a sign of excitement while there headlights shine in the distance proving comfort for a non-monotonous experience. 

It's when the experience becomes monotonous that makes the thrill of such an activity unbearable. No sound, no sight of any headlight, no horn heard in the distance, no wind flying by except that of a small breeze. Only still life. Sometimes it's happened when one goes to a particular spot hoping to see such action and come home empty handed. And sometimes there is only one passing train caught throughout an hour to a whole day spent on rail spotting. However despite this gloomy monotony, this kind of rail spotting could also be as fun and enjoyable. Basking in the sun on the lawn chair, feeling that nice breeze on a good comfortable day, observing the stillness of the background, watching the animals go right by and the wild plants forming a shade of different colours. It can bring calm and peace to one's soul and remind oneself of the importance of appreciation to life. It also opens the window for capturing rail equipment such as signals, switchers, the rail itself and cross guards. Also stations, platforms and lone or multiple cars parked on the side become artistic mediums for photography.

Rail spotting isn't just capturing trains passing by. It combines all aspects of rail transportation.
