A very rare sight these days.

There’s Always A Train Track Through Town
Follow the tracks and you will find a Main Street. North or south, it doesn’t matter.
There was a time the railroad was the reason the town existed. Now most of the ones I know just hold up traffic as they pass through.
McCormick, South Carolina.
Found At Long Cane, South Carolina
I’m not sure if Long Cane is town or an old description of the area. The nearby town is Troy, but small signs refer to Long Cane also.
I have found if we are wandering around shooting ‘stuff’ with a big camera someone will stop to chat, and point out things we would never find or know. We have been taken to old family cabins even doors unlocked to churches on the National Historic Register.
That’s exactly what happened here. A person who had moved back to the area after years was doing pretty much what we were, looking around. He pointed us to, drove of us over, to the old Long Cane cemetery and church.
The cemetery was from 1771. Not far from the site of a settler and Cherokee tribe battle. I think 20+ settlers were buried there. During the mid 1700’s local Native American tribes sided with either the settlers or British. From what I have found since moving here the American Revolution was much worse around here than up north, probably even more so than the Civil War. Nasty business.
Another ‘Found On A Walk’ adventure, somewhere South Carolina/Georgia border.
Some Rust And Ruin, Monochrome
The care of these old stones and iron work is the responsibility of the family.
What happens 200 years later, when no one remembers ?
Charleston, South Carolina.
NO…
In case you didn’t want to read all the fine print about the Dept. of Defense or other restrictions they included a simple summary.
NO
And yeah, photography was in there too. I didn’t read the fine print either.
A few guys in a plain white truck did casually drive by and said hello.

Dead End, Main Street USA
It’s usually the little things in a shot like this that make it interesting.
The old rail line running passed a town, aside the ‘Dead End’ sign.
Another Main Street, USA
Always Railroad Tracks through the center of town, more often than not a court house.
Found on a walk.
Perpetual Care …
A grave site in an old cemetery, with ‘Perpetual Care’.
However I guess I now know there is some type expiration date to perpetual after all.
