As a contributor to the photography section, this statement offends me hahah.

Also, are these @warrensteam's photos? Does that matter?

Ah, indeed it does matter - and I did not realize it as I was impressed with the quality of work. This sort of post did not work out so well for some here and as a photographer, like you, know the lengths we go through to obtain such images. preciousdecay.com would likely not be pleased to see his images used here in a very commercial manner. Thanks @jamtaylor for getting me to look closer! (though my thoughts on these images stands haha!) He is likely using 9 different stops to shoot these images.

Indeed the photographer would probably not appreciate it. I tend not to upvote these types of posts unless the person is trying to pass the images off as their own (which is not the case here)

Plus I'm not a big fan of these images anyway hahah

Certainly, that is what keeps photography so interesting and subjective. You can have a technically perfect image, but still uninteresting to many because of dry/boring subject matter. Or a shot of bigfoot that is blurry, underexposed and shaky that everyone adores!

I mistyped, I meant that I don't upvote these types of posts, nor do I flag (usually) unless the person is trying to pass the images off as their own.

But I wish it was made abundantly clear that these are not the posters photographs, and people actually read the text in posts.

Looks like it was really stunning at one time. Such a shame they just leave it out there to rust and rot away...that's a piece of history. :(

Sad really, humans are like that. If it isn't making them money or serves a purpose why must they go out of their way to get rid of it. A lot like beached ships - to much money to remove it so we just leave it.

Off topic tag spam is not good, the higher quality the tag listings are the better it'll be to browse.

An elegant, bygone era. Everyone now rushes around in cars and on planes. Back then train travel had an element of class and refinement. It would have been a fascinating period to live in

Absolutely agree, life i can imagine was very different back then. Would love to be able to go back in time to visit certain era's just for a whole day.

A blast from the past! It truly is, I remember going on train rides all the time but it is not the same anymore. These images brought back so many family memories from my childhood
