Monday railroad pictures

train stuffToday required a trip into a nearby town for some tire repair, a spark plug purchase, and a library visit. I discovered a park down by the river which was jumping up and down while yelling "come and take some pictures of me".

I'm always intrigued by the waste material that can be found alongside the railroad tracks in this country. These heavy steel plates are what seem to hold the actual track in place and I guess they need to be replaced from time to time?  I wonder if they can be used for anything non railroad related?

I am sure you will find a use for anything you salvage along the railroad. My question is, are Monday railroad pictures any different that Tuesday railroad pictures taken at the same place?

Tuesday railroad pictures
Mark may have to start taking daily photos of the railroad to find out. Like that artist whose name I can't remember who painted all those pictures of the same church (the name of which I can't remember)... :-)
