  1. When I was a child I loved to visit railroads. My father would take me to see the trains cross the trestles and I would speak to the engineers. I recall how I would walk down the railroad at Rusk state park and have just wonderful time.

  2. As her car passed the railroad tracks she silently laughed thinking of the memories she had amassed there. A second later a sense of melancholy spread through her because she no longer had contact with the people she had made the memories with.

  6. a railroad can lead you anywhere. it can take you home, it can lead you away from home. a railroad is the foundation of this country. The railroad was first made in the Us from the east coast to the west coast and i’d say it was a big reason for the gold rush, it helped transfer people. a railroad can hold so much – so many stories.

  7. Stuck between the tracks. Railroad to hell. Sounds like a country song.

  8. It was the railroad that broke his back that long summer in the sweltering sun. And it was the railroad that brought his bride accross the country. Forever that railroad will be stamped into my memory.

  9. Across the railroad tracks I saw a young woman kneeling down over a small teddy bear. She was shaking and tearing it apart, her ratty dress giving off the feel that she was slightly mad. I tentatively stepped over the tracks to see if she was alright, but as soon as I tou

  11. He was tied to the railroad. There was no escaping. Out of nowhere, a cowgirl-looking woman came to his rescue. She had a pocket knife that released him from being bound. He was shocked. He quickly got up with the help from the strange woman. “Wow, I am speechless….What is your name?” He asked. She replied, “Amaya.”

  12. The railroad tracks were overgrown with weeds. Who could remember the last time that a train had rolled across them? The tales those tracks could tell. The miles those trains had logged.

  13. The sound of the train on the railroad tracks behind your house wakes you from your somber sleep. But that’s not what keeps you awake. The thoughts of woe and despair that fill your head, that’s what keeps you up.

  14. A path that every time I come across one I wonder how many people been on it passing by from one life to the other.

  15. A railroad has no destination, it just continues, endlessly… or does it? Never mind, thats just in my mind, my world. Please leave unless you wanna stay and experience my perfect world.

  16. As I came upon a railroad, I thought to myself about the days in my favorite summer. 1967, in June, I met who I still believe today is my soul mate. We fell in love by that railroad and Ill never forget it.

  17. The railroad sat there in its metallic glory. waiting for the next giant machine to come crashing along it. Polluting the world a little bit more.

  18. the rail road was long and it make me feel like i would never reach a destination worth stopping for. When would the train come? When would I feel the wheels of motion move me forward? Would i want to come back when i got there? or would this railroad take me to a new future? when will i find home?

  21. I have a little secret.
    It runs on the railroad tracks.
    It travels from city to city looking for you.
    It’s the love you’ll never know.

  22. The dark of night shrouds railroads in a much more interesting, bluesy, pop-culturey light than this one. Hot, summer, Texas days at the train station, waiting to ride to work are much less romantic than minor pentatonics and juke-joints.

  23. The railroad at the edge of town was all I could ever think about when I was little. It was all I ever really felt like thinking about. The way the tracks glistened and sparked. The rumbling, shaking ground as a train steamed on pass, filling the air with pollutants that I loved to smell early in the morning.

  24. Mental wounds not healing, life’s a bitter shame, I’m going off the rails on a crazy train, I’ve listened to preachers, I’ve listened to fools, I’ve watched all the dropouts, who make their own rules, one person conditioned to rule and control, the media sells it and you live the role.

  25. The railroad stretched for miles upon miles. No matter how far she looked, it continued. Did it ever stop? As she walked along the tracks, she wondered what would be at the end, if there was one.

  26. i take the railroad every couple of months. my mom pays for it with money she barrows from the credit union. my mom barrows lots of money. she is ripping us off and one day we will not have a beautiful home or cars or anything. because the its will take al of our money. anyway the way i get to my mom is by the railroad.

  27. The railroad stretched miles into the distance. A cold breeze blew from the west and her light brown hair made patterns in the air around her. Light engulfed her as the object hurtling towards her came nearer. Knowing she had little time, she contemplated her life for the last time, and then jumped.

  28. They lay together, head to head in a pinwheel on the floor. The last of them, a gaunt tan woman in her twenties, threw down the belt she used to tie off her arm above the injection site, and found her place with the other four, the travelers, the run-aways. The train car jerked at squeaked around her, but that seemed to matter less and less as lush escape folded in around her.

  29. I don’t know what this is, but it sounds kind of like the rails of a train. It sounds like there’s a path I should follow. Maybe this has to do with my life right now, I need a new path to walk, I need something new. I need it, desperately.

  30. i have written about railroads twice today and am already very sick of railroads so can we drop the subject on railroads and write about ponies.

  31. Sometimes I really just wanna stand on a railroad and get hit. I’ve wanted to rig up something that drops me when the train hits it so it doesn’t have time to even try and stop. I wanna see if everything goes dark like I think…

  35. I was riding the train when I saw a person standing on the railroad. They seemed to want to get hit, so I jumped out of the train cart, fell into the railroad tracks a pushed the person out of the way in time before the other train came. I was out of breath when they asked if i was an angel.

  36. there was a railroad near my house one time and i always wanted to walk on it and i wanted to have my boyfriend on one side and me on the other and we would lean in and kiss each other like i saw the two gay people doing in that picture one time. it was beyond sweet and it looks so romantic and maybe dangerous too because you might fall or get hit by a train!!! That would be scary.

  37. The railroad stretched on forever, it seemed, past the horizon into the setting sun. I sighed as he got onto the train, as he stopped to wave back at my lackluster hand flap. He was going away forever, going where I could never find him again, never hold him in my arms again, and I would die here alone.

  38. A man continues to travel down the railroad in search of something. What is his purpose? He travels through the tunnel into a dark dark zone. Alone with himself, his thoughts and the cold tracks that seem like they haven’t been used in years. He hears a sound, distant at first and then suddenly louder. it is the train, the train ripping down the tracks as if to say, I am here.

  39. I would like to be a hobo and hop trains, travel around the country, watch life go by. I remember train rides to Santa Fe from Chicago – it is as if time takes a break and we have space to breathe.

  40. rome, vous grivez
    mes rives décoiffées
    je ruse et mes buses
    devant corps
    mais l’attente.
