" Oh, They Looked to the Future....

" Oh, they looked to the future and what did they see, they saw an iron road running from sea to the sea..." so sang Gordon Lightfoot in his " Canadian Railroad Trilogy ". That was a song of hope for the future and praise for progress.

These are the polished rails which run past the old Ravenel Station where the trains don't stop anymore. Lightfoot seemed to be on the locomotive facing the future, but this looks like the view from the caboose.
