“Steel remembers the train even when the tracks are gone.”
Synopsis
Blacksmiths weld scrap from a disused railway into gates, tools and art. As the last train route closes, they become the keepers of its metal memory.
Behind the lens
Shot beside live forges — heat haze on every lens. We burned through three ND filters and gained the smell of iron in our kit bags.
