Mark Ruwedel photographs the sites of 19th and 20th century railway lines in the American and Canadian West using a large-format view camera. The collapsed tunnels, deteriorating trestles, and eroding cuts and grades of over 130 abandoned railroad lines are documented in photographs taken between 1994 and 2006. The detailed gelatin silver prints record the remains and ruins of railway networks, as well as evidence of industries that moved in after the decline of the railroad, such as uranium-claim markers, mine entrances, and bomb craters at abandoned army fields. In the tradition of the New Topographics, Mr. Ruwedel acts as an archivist, cataloging the effects of past usage on the current landscape. The titles of the images, faintly hand-lettered in graphite directly on the mount by the artist, name the defunct rail lines, evoking both place and destination, such as |Carson and Colorado| or |Tonopah and Tidewater|. By echoing the photographic surveys and topographical studies done during the growth of the railroad enterprise, the project serves as a coda to the rise and impact of the railroad and industry on the forgotten terrain of the West.
