Old Train Car


Railroad Graveyard, Rusk Texas

What kind of car do you think this was in its heyday?  Dining Car?  Smoking Car?  Maybe a private car?

No idea, but I love the photo--suggestive of lots of stories within.

Excellent photo! My guess would be a dinning car with a kitchen. The porthole window is unusual.

It almost looks like it's smoking inside! So many stories forever hidden inside. If this train car could talk...

Fab image it's quite eerie looking. Thanks for you comments on my blog by the way. Can't wait to start.

Great photo! Love those windows. Why are trains so romantic - even old, rusty ones like this one!

Ah, rustique at its finest!
I'm guessing it was a submarine car as it has a porthole. :)
There is something so romantic about trains. Why is that?

Is it really a 'graveyard' for trains?

What a great find.. Maybe a dinning car or for a family. Love it.
