The short answer is unlikely inspirations
New Topographic #1
Everyone is inspired by something or someone or some combination thereof. That inspiration is loaded with infinite possibilities from ignoring it to creating a master-piece work. Personally I have always thought that trains were uniquely fun, aesthetically profound, and designed to reflect the world they reside within. Besides my uncle used to regal me with stories of catching a train to watch a baseball game in another state or part of the country. His favorite team no longer resides in the city where a pennant was won in 1957, and the railroad has also disappeared into antiquity, but the spirit lives on.
