This photo is of a caboose in "Downtown" Katy, TX - where I currently reside and grew up. The city was supposedly named for the railroad that came through town. The M K T Railway. I decided this was an interesting perspective of the picture, as it shows the railroad crossing sign to the front left of the caboose (it has nowhere to go with the addition of new city roads), the electrical/phone lines (expansion and growth of city), and the name of the railroad (in which the city was named after)

the first thought that popped into my mind is 'why b&w'? i'm curious to see what color the train is and why you converted it.
challenge met -- yes composition / appeal -- composition is fine. i know there's no way of avoiding the wires and the sign to the right, i would probably try and clone them out for use of the photo outside of this challenge. subject not terribly exciting to me personally. technical -- good. see my b&w question above. overall -- 5 gr8photos :)
Near and dear to my heart.... my Dad was a railroader, and this evokes a lot of sentiment in my heart, not to mention that it is a well composed shot. The black/white format lends itself to the subject matter, too, giving it a nostalgic feel. Very nice job! 8 cameo
