Morning At The Train Tracks

I was lucky to have seen the sun almost shining above this busy rail track. It was only around 6 AM but the station was pretty busy. This one station is where mostly the slowest train departs and arrives. Because it’s pretty economical, the place is kept pretty much open, unlike the main station where almost everything is covered and roofed. It is pretty simple and less exclusive than the main station but I begin to appreciate the sights that I am seeing around here. Somehow, it’s a lot more lively than the other stations.

At the time, I was traveling with my uncle and my cousin, while they were looking for breakfast, I excused myself to capture these pictures. I certainly wouldn’t miss this beautiful experience and it’s also a rarity when I get to see the sun shimmering so beautifully like that. Unfortunately, I am also not tall, so I can’t really lift the camera up high so I could capture the sun just above the steel pillars.

I also took a few pictures from another side. I slid my camera under the cracks of the wall that was purposely kept open. Perhaps they keep this wall a little low so people who love taking pictures of the train could do that. I mean, there are train enthusiasts all over the country and in this province, they have a few unique train operations, like the one with batik carved on it.

Typically, my camera captured this moment during sunset, so it was pretty nice to see it early in the morning and being able to capture this awesome moment. I recently traveled a lot by train and each station has its own signature. There are some stations in the country that are just filled with historical items because during colonialism, the railway was the main means of transportation connecting java.

I took a few more pictures before joining my uncle and cousin for breakfast. It was also the day when I eventually moved out of this province and I am glad that it was beautiful sights that I got to see.
