« A Streetcar Named Debris »

Well ... actually it is named Beach.

This was the trolley that took folks from town or train station for a day at the beach, somewhere in the coastal northeast most likely. No one will be enjoying this beach for a while after a storm that picked this car up off the tracks, ripped away its trucks (wheels) and deposited it in the dunes. A crew is seen further down the line with what may be a rail salvage crane being used to move debris and repair tracks.

Bright sun on the sand washed out nearly all detail except the car, a few poles and the crew, oddly disembodied from the landscape, especially for a photograph of machinery.
