This photo-essay brings you in Nancy (France) for a walk during a snowstorm. You are going to discover railroad installations but also realize how the storm grew in intensity.

I don’t plan this essay to be a journalist related work. It is more my personal vision of a special event in my home town. Misko Kranjec’s recent work inspired me a lot. I choose to process my pictures in black and white. By doing this, I’m placing my picture away from the Space and Time flow. They could have been made anywhere at any time. The main actor of my essay if the snow storm, growing and affecting the railway and its world. The black and white processing also enhance the graphics of the picture. A train is just a train (as symbol) and no more a BB 27000 class locomotive and a manifest!

Date : March 2006
Place : Quebec Province, Canada
Subject : lonely freight cars under the snow

I’m not going to explain in this essay how life brought me to North America, it would take too long! Since my first visit there however, my photographic skills have improved considerably. That part of the planet brings out the creativity in a lot of people. It is probably the change in living habits and the unfamiliar surroundings that pushed me towards taking different types of pictures and to renew my vision and style as well.

Trip after trip, I slowly discovered the North American continent, its geography, its history and the role that railroads played in the growth of both Canada and USA. I learned many things about the history of many small companies that not longer exist. I realized that the tracks were trails of the pioneers, and the trains that ran over them were the life-blood of the newly born civilization.

Over the years, I became more familiar with North American culture. My vision of North American Railroads changed as well. One day, when driving from Quebec City to Halifax, I came across a small branch line in the middle of a forest. I stopped and observed these lonely cars. The sky was gray and a light snow was falling. I imagined the flat cars were awaiting the arrival of a distant locomotive, one that would bring them to their next destination … certainly the foundation of Railroading. Suddenly, I realized that it was just the same over one hundred years ago, when fresh tracks were shaping a new continent: North America.
