Richland Station Fall 2011 by hjbenson

Richland Station Fall 2011

The Richland Train Station is next door to the Deli and Post Office. The tracks are used by Conrail for freight. The passenger service stopped over 30 years ago, though there is a "tourist train" that operates in the spring and form Thanksgiving through Christmas on weekends. This Friday it will start up again as a Santa's Train. It goes about 45 mins to Tuckahoe, NJ stays their 15 mins. to a half-hour and then returns.

Edited it to try and give it a more 3-D feel
Nice perspective and neat little buitdings. They almost look like they are made from Legos.

From your shot, you wouldn't know it was right next door to the post office. You've done a good job of isolating it and make it appear as if it's really out in the "boondocks" somewhere.

Then again, what do I know? Richland could be in the boondocks. ;-)
