He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play
Go go,
Go Johnny, go
Go,
Go Johnny, go
Go,
Go Johnny, go
Go,
Go Johnny, go

Johnny B. Goode
There was a romance of the rails in the days of steam power and even into the days of diesel engines. American popular culture from folk music to country and western was loaded with freight and passenger trains for many a year.
The trains had names that everyone knew. Names like the Kansas City Mule that ran between KC and Saint Louis. There was the Broadway Special from New York to Chicago daily. We loved the names of the trains. The California Zephyr, the Texas Eagle, the Coast Starlight, the Desert Wind, the City of New Orleans were all w...

I try to put everything I have learned from every great teacher and through every mistake I have made into each and every piece with as much passion as I have for art and for life itself. Artists have been accused of being self aggrandizing, long winded, name droppers. I hate it when the critics get it right! In an attempt to diffuse those kinds of accusations, regardless of how accurate they may be, I am writing this statement today. Each picture I make begins with a germ of an idea. I visualize how I...

Cheri Randolph
William, perfect focus the powerful mechanism of the engine! Your processing has successfully enhanced the metallic gleam of the components. I, too, have a fascination with train travel and have a long-history of railroad men in my family. Certainly a more "civilized" mode of transportation, trains always add to the adventure and romance of a trip. Hope you get to check the Orient Express off your list one day! voted
William Fields replied:
Cheri, thanks so much. I was surprised that I could dig as much out of this one as I did. The original image was quite under exposed. The processing did bring it to life in an interesting way. I feel "civilized" is the most appropriate description for traveling on trains. I never felt that I had been packed into a can of sardines. I never worried about the recycled air I was breathing and it's potential health effects. And, when I was restless I could take a walk to another car to get a drink or a meal or just catch a little fresh air on the balcony. I sometimes met a person who intrigued and was willing to spend some time whiling away the hours looking at scenery that consisted of something more than clouds. Definitely more civilized.
