TRESTLE
SOLD

When I was recording industrial scenes for painting subjects, I happened upon this old trestle that took me back a few years. It needs a paint job real bad and graffiti has worked its magic upon it. The scene reminds me of the oldest part of the NY subways and elevated tracks when I was much younger going to high school in NYC. What stuck with me is seeing the rivet and plate construction from the old days, still standing and sturdy. No welding here . . . a lot of hard work to pull together, tighten up and drive rivets.    Ray
