railroad.

rail over river
there is an old railroad bridge that goes across the river in our town.
its far from safe, im surprised they havent closed it off to the public.
still, i love walking on it.
always wondering if the boards beneath my feet will hold me....
i like to imagine all the stories that traveled along these tracks....
this town was a stopping point for many who sought escape
through the Underground Railroad System.
and for many, this was the last bridge they crossed as they stepped into freedom.
it's a holy place, these tracks. and while there are about 6 churches
just up the road, this is where i prefer to go when i need to touch sacred.
