This train stops for no one

Perpetual motion. Railways that never sleep. Logistics, supplies, people, transit - these silver bullets fire north, south, east and west across the country, but they bring life, bring communication, bring energy. This piece takes a single railroad crossing in Japan as its starting point and zooms out, first to view every train making its way across the city, then the prefecture, then the island of Honshu, and finally the entire country. Expanse, momentum and energy.
