Nice catch on the 2 trains at the station!

5376 is also shown on the next post down. ;-)

Someone, I forget who, once said, "Great minds think alike".

Great shots. Love that area.

Very nice photos, especially the two trains at the station.

Beautiful sunny day photos, well done

I'm sure the bridge is now the new public platform. Nothing like a redefinition of bold and blatant with a blazing display of ignorance.

Yes, #3 is just an amazing catch!

GREAT set of pics!!!! Thanks for sharing.

These are absolutely excellent well composed photographs. I like the Point of Rocks wide angle shots showing nothing but train. My favorite is the one you took at Harpers Ferry. It really turned out great. Excellent lighting conditions and composition. Share more as you please.

That is a beautiful Depot. Too bad it isn't used as a passenger terminal. During my last days at Eastern Airlines, when I worked in the pilot's "strike" headquarters in Reston, Va, I would drive my small motorhome(a Toyota Dolphin) up to the "area" where the Brunswick commuters were let off the train and walk down to the depot. It relieved a lot of tension, was quite beautiful and the entire area is very interesting when the commuter trains start arriving. Also, it was a nice place to eat dinner. Brunswick, on the other hand, was pretty depressing.

The depot almost wasn't saved. Be glad that it still exists.
