Predawn Steam Train Through Winter Wheat Fields in along a switchback approach in Nagaland

Predawn Steam Train Through Winter Wheat Fields

by Toni Perez

Deep shadow swallows the lower half of a heavy steam locomotive as it navigates a switchback track in the predawn darkness of Nagaland. Frost and mud coat the black iron bodywork, clinging to rivets and connecting rods in thick, textured layers. A sharp rim light cuts through the sea spray hanging in the air, outlining the steam and the train's silhouette against the pale, empty sky. Golden wheat stalks stand motionless in the foreground, their dry heads bowed under the weight of the cold season. The rails glisten wetly where the engine passes, reflecting the faint, cold light that barely touches the muddy embankment. Frost crystals sparkle on the gravel beside the track.
