    Default Point A to Point B ... or maybe Point C?
    Here is a common sight found in most towns around the country. This is an older shot taken with my Minolta S414.

    I have some other railroad shots that would be good for this challenge but I am still hunting for them.

    Neat shot, it's definitely going off in two different directions. I love shots like this.

    Me too - love the ambiguity...

    Minor detail, I find the 2 cars at the right of the background are a little distracting to my eye, Clonable?

    I agree, nice one Cal!

    The 'lack of an answer' (ie which way will the train go?) adds interest.

    Cheers

    There are actually 4 cars and a pickup. The only way to cleanly remove them is with a crop but that would remove too much detail.

    Thanks to all for your nice comments.
