Description
The thundering roar is heard no more upon the metal highway. Now is heard only an occasional groaning from the aging metal slowly returning to the earth from which it came. From days gone by, the mighty voice of steam and coal still call, though only in the vast plains of golden memory.

Gone off the rails as you might say, anyway excellent picture that tells a story. Well done.
Excellent work George.
You have become quite the master at texturing! This is impressive. Now I must also give credit to your writing skills, narrative often pushes a pic to the bars of excellence as you have done here.
as an old railrider this brings back fond memories of acrid smoke and cinders in the eyes --alas bygone days are gone forever!!! excellent render!!!!!!!!

Beautiful work!!! I just love the rusty texture here. Wonderfully realistic and well done!
I can't believe it : I made virtually the same work as you.(rust 1 in Vue/transportation) I am a bit ashamed of "my" texture : I simply took it from a rusted pipe downloaded before. I am thinking about making a giant canon on rail, a there were a few during WW1, i think.
