Unit 4585 (and Friends)

4585
(Click on image to enlarge)

When you wake up in the night and there are five idling Diesel engines stopped on the track beside your house, it's as if there were five living giants crouched out there in the dark. The air vibrates with their heartbeats. They murmur to themselves, or to each other. Their voices rise and fall. They sigh. They sneeze.

You simply have get your camera and go outside to take a picture of them. It doesn't work out very well (see above), but you still have to try.

After a long time they get the go-ahead. The giants shake themselves into motion, their murmuring rises to bluster, and with much rumbling and bleating they lumber off into the dark.
