I was driving home to my parents house a few weeks ago and passed over a set of railroad tracks in Brookston(Indiana) on state road 18. This was the usual for a road trip home, but this time i saw some workers working on the tracks. They were using fire for something, and from what I could tell (I’m going to go ahead and assume) they were burning out rivets. As most of the time I carry my camera on me when I feel I may get something interesting on my trips. I went down a block and decided to make a quick turn and head back to get some pics of them working. They were more than happy to let me take some pictures of them while they worked on the tracks. It wasn’t anything to exciting, but the picture I had in my head was an old vintage look. This is what i came up with and I think it reminds me of a blast through the past when you saw railroad workers nailing in rivets to the tracks.
