It seems there are a lot of autistic people on Mastodon. And autistic people like trains, right? Yet I don't find a lot of train-related content on the Fediverse.

In an attempt to change that, I have made a railfan Pixelfed account @railfan where I post pictures of trains and infrastructure, mostly from southern Denmark (living near the border, there will be German trains as well).

You can follow Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon, you don't need another account. However, Mastodon only shows the first four pictures, so for large post you may need to select open in browser to see more pictures.

The BNSF Yakima Valley line, as you might expect, follows the flow of the Yakima River from near Easton all the way to Kennewick, Washington. State Route 821 (Canyon Road) parallels the tracks on the opposite side of the river and provides plenty of places to pull over and float down the gentle current. Or watch trains!

There again. I went there to get some film from Photodom, which is right below the station, though ironically I took this photo with my digital camera. I heard about it from KEH, though that KEH event was canceled. Photodom is Black owned and sells Kodak Vision 3 films (with remjet but they have ECN-2 service). They have 120 film made from Vision 3 65mm film, and respooled Vision 3 film with AHU instead of remjet (though they don't make it obvious so I didn't know until I asked). So you don't need to get it shipped all the way from China from Reflx Lab. Then I headed to Brooklyn Film Camera to get some expired film. #nyc #subwaystation #trainstation #subway #reflection #skyline #brooklyn #streetphotography #railfan #trains #darktable
