More photos with the clouds tag.
The alleged train story: The rail authority wanted to know what would happen if a freight and passenger train ever collided. They stripped one passenger carriage and sat it on the lines in a small train yard. I don't know what speed the freighter was moving at, but the damage was a lot worse than this photo shows. The carriage is now gone. Manual flash light added inside the drivers cabin during exposure 5min, f5.6 Fuji 64t

I'm not sure, but I'm keen to find out the real story, not just the rumours I've been hearing. I don't remember the photos, email me a url if you've got one!

Actually, the carriage was placed on it's side there as part of a joint emergency services/qr response exercise that was held last year. It was largely hailed as a success and was covered in the local media. The reason that there was more damage to the carriage was that it was cut open buy the firey's so that they could work out how to best do it without killing themselves or anyone else in the train so that passenger who were injured could be removed. I also understand that it was later taken away and set fire to so the firey's again could use it for fire fighting training..... using a defunct carriage sorta save the bad pr associated with burning live passengers.........Rod

broken axle rose you scare me. Hopefully I never run into you in real life, especially while I am alone and carrying a substantial camera investment.

As expected the real story is less exciting than the rumours. I returned recently to find the carriage is gone, I'm glad I photographed it so much.

hi
IF you want to know the truth - the train driver drove past, he was singin and tooten and chootin past one afternoon, and he said "HEY CUNT, GOT A DOLLAR" sO i SAID "FUCK YOU YA BONG" AND i KICKED THE DRIVERS WEEL, AND TO MY SURPRISE MY STEEL CAPS BENT THE WHEEL YA DIG? And then he sped up, realizing I was on these chems that made me superdudeawsomoooO and I said get back here you train and it sped up and I spat on it and hit it with a trolly bar and it fell over and died. Then I robbed it's till and got all it's coinage which turned out to be the engine opening and it was relaly boring. The end. for a 2nd I thought it would be really cool to go though the front and smack open the doors, and go through the carriages, but it's a fucken QR TRAIN, I SPEND HOURS A WEEK ON THEM. WHAT A DICK IDEA. TRAINS SUCK. SO DO QR RAIL STRIKERS THAT LEAVE YOU STRANDED AT GOODNA STATION LATE HOURS OF THE NIGHT TO GET EATEN BY ANDIGINOUS HOMEBROTHERS. if you look closely at the front it almost looks like the train has a chicken beak or a snow plow, that could be used for scoopen people up. I'd say people. Man I like the sky, it could be some kinda cam effect that I'm alien too but I'd trip if I saw the sky like that, groovy shit.

In about the same condition as the outside - plastered with tags, all the electrical equipment and drivers control were gone.
