20–30 Trains a Day Run Through This Main Street?! | Leica Q Photography

La Grange, Kentucky is one of the most unusual small towns in America — because freight trains run right down the middle of Main Street! 🚂 In this video, I take my Leica Q on a one-hour photography walk through historic downtown La Grange, Kentucky, just outside Louisville. The goal is simple: one camera, one lens, one hour, and see what kind of images I can capture. La Grange is known for its historic downtown, beautiful old buildings, murals, restaurants, and — most famously — railroad tracks running directly through Main Street. There can be 20–30 trains passing through town each day, and I was hoping we'd be lucky enough to photograph one. After walking around photographing the architecture, murals, historic buildings and small-town details, the moment finally happens — a freight train comes right down Main Street! 🚂📷 Along the way, I also talk about the challenges of photographing in harsh midday light, the Leica Q settings I'm using, and my ongoing struggle to become a better street, architectural and historic photographer. Most importantly, this is a look at small-town America and the kind of unexpected photography adventures you can find when you slow down and explore places that aren't necessarily on the typical tourist itinerary. If you enjoy Leica photography, street photography, small-town America, Kentucky photography, historic towns, travel photography and photography adventures, I hope you'll come along for the walk. 📷 Camera: Leica Q 📍 Location: La Grange, Kentucky 🚂 Highlight: A freight train running directly through Main Street Have you ever photographed a train running through the middle of a downtown?
