As near as I can tell this is a cyclonic sorter, probably used for grain. No matter, I thought it would make a decent painting.

This was just outside of Philadelphia. Another set of tracks that ran alongside ours for a while then veered off to the right. I have found myself fascinated at how all different transportation lines crisscross throughout the landscape, and by how egocentric my view is at each encounter. After all, to someone on the other line the Amtrak line followed them for a while then veered off to the left.

One of the many bridges along our route  to the City.This is either the Pulaski Skyway or the NJ Turnpike. Next time I make this trip I'll have to use my GPS.

A warehouse along the tracks located somewhere between Philadelphia and NYC. I've noticed this same peculiar pale yellow color in many of these old buildings. It works for me.

Another scene courtesy of Amtrak. As is the case with almost everything along the tracks, what is within arms' reach is ravaged, everything else is pristine.

Another from my train series. We happened to be stopped here for a while so I got out and painted this. Not really. The delay did however allow me to take quite a few pictures. This is one of the support structures that carry the overhead power lines for the NJ Transit trains.

This, as it turns out, is Newark Station not Trenton as I had originally thought. A rose by any other name would still smell like Jersey.
