Epigraph

We photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished, there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory.
Henri Cartier-Bresson, The Decisive Moment, 1952

Dedication

By all rights, these photographs of the Norfolk and Western Railway should never have been made.
