There is something about this scene that bring to mind the word “lonesome.”
Maybe that’s because we see a lone Wheeling & Lake Erie GP35-3 pulling a lone tank car.
At least I thought it was a lone tank car until I enlarged the photo and determined that there are actually two tank cars.
But the compression from the lens makes the train look quite shot.
The train is westbound on the CSX New Castle Subdivision tracks in Akron on March 27, 2012.
