Rusty Tracks

I've always had trouble taking photos with no people in the scene. I have some of my attempts posted here and, frankly, I always find them lacking something. I took this shot in Hanoi a few weeks back. We don't have a railroad in my hometown and I just found these tracks fascinating.

I converted the shot to black and white in an attempt to emphasize the dark areas and the rust. You can sense the age of these tracks, the history the hold, and you can't help but wonder what they represent to the thousands of people they helped carry around.
