hopping a freight
and posing with
old cars

 

Tom C.- Mexico freight hoppingthat photo is a bit of an optical illusion... it is a cat walk on the top of a tank car... we mostly were in an open top empty gondola car
Jonathan with a Mercury in Ciudad Mante with one of the colorful cars I kept seeing and the boy in the photos was often out on the street and we became friends so he joined in the photo
Jonathan with a Mercury on the street in Ciudad Mante, Mexico-1978..
Jonathan in Ciudad Mante with a DeSoto 1978
Jonathan Fischer, in Ciudad Mante, Mexico 1978 with Chevy ... Mexico like Cuba at this time was a car heaven for 1950 era vehicles!

wanting my old life
when I wanted
my present life
stirring the soup she made
as a cold rain falls outside

asked to pose with an old Pontiac her stoic look...

to show me
the spirit of a train
I wish for one to come-
these overgrown tracks
I walk along

once upon a time  the town thrived out there... on the plains

once upon a time
the town thrived out there…
on the plains
