Freight Across the Painted Desert

A long freight train stretches across the distant horizon of Arizona’s Painted Desert, cutting a narrow line through the vast high-desert landscape. Weathered trees and spring greenery fill the foreground while layered, arid terrain extends beneath a clear blue sky. The panoramic composition captures the contrast between the rugged landscape of Petrified Forest National Park and the railroad corridor that crosses the American Southwest.
