Coal Cars at 70 – Industrial Abstract on Brushed Metal

Industrial Art, Captured at 70 Miles Per Hour

Some moments you plan for. Others you catch at 70 miles an hour.

Driving through Wyoming—wide open land, big skies, and a train of coal cars stretching along the road—I noticed something unexpected. The train wasn’t moving, but I was. As we curved around the bend, the cars lined up in a perfect repeating pattern. I had only a split second to frame the shot. I pressed the shutter, and somehow, I got it. That moment became Coal Cars at 70.

This piece blends industrial strength with artistic rhythm. Printed on brushed metal, the surface replaces the whites in the image with a silvery shimmer, giving the sky and edges of the train cars a dynamic sheen. The contrast of black coal, steel cars, and open Wyoming hills transforms a fleeting roadside view into a bold, modern abstract.
