It's a much larger station/platform about 2 miles to the west of Port Kennedy. Unrelated, but I just noticed you can see 39G in the second pic, look just to the left of the station. Lol, bonus.

Scout trains used this and the station by Washingtons headquarters to speed up the operation which handled nearly 50,000 Scouts I did an article for Classic Trains Magazine describing this amazing operation

It’s a shame the station is being neglected. Dan Posted from iPhone |
