not sure what style of architecture this is but its a great unique building. I hope it stays there (i.e isn't on some list for demolition).

Wow, this is terrific. Cool tracks and the building looks great against that sky.

This is one forceful image – it sort of comes at you full force – it looms and part of its dynamic is the diagonal of the tracks and the staccato of the windows, and the other part is the low angle as if the onlooker were almost prostrate on the tracks looking up at the “approaching” structure for it does feel as if it were moving toward one.

Very impressive building Grant, it almost looks 'too' grand to be on a railway siding. Excellent image.

What a beautiful old building. Especially love the train tracks in the foreground.

Strong tonality! A lot of expensive detail for the service side of the building. best...jerry

I like the jarring effective of the angled tracks with the building so square with the world. Excellent B&W work.

great shot: the place is just made by the rail tracks.

A fine, clean feel here. I love the angle of the tracks, and the texture in the sky, Fairly small aperture used on this?

@Stovepipe: thanks mark. i assume it was small, but i never take notes.

Very interesting. The tracks make the whole image look askew as if the building was constructed crooked. The railroad is a very powerful influence in this shot.

Love that building with all its shapes and tones. Super compo made all the more interesting by the diagonal tracks.

This is such an amazing shot Grant! I love the diagonal lines of the train tracks contrasting so nicely the with vertical and horizontal lines of the buildings. An all-time favourite of mine now...(waiting for it to show up at vfxy).

@bluechameleon: much appreciated!

torn between admiring all the patterns on the buildings and how they work with the tracks and admiring the subtle range of tones you have going in that sky.
