Eastern Railroad Discussion > "Overlooking the RF&P"Date: 05/29/23 11:40 "Overlooking the RF&P" Author: cinder The recent clearing & grading for the Potomac Shores Town Center north of Quantico, VA has opened new vistas to shoot trains on the former RF&P along the Potomac River. Weekends are a good time to "tresspass" when construction is halted. Although backlit while the sun shines, there is a track view high above the former Tim's Rivershore Restaurant that is picture-worthy.
A massive chestnut oak tree has been integrated into the site plan above a stormwater management pond. It was here that I spent three hours this past Saturday morning shooting cell phone videos. 1. Amtrak Regional #82 crosses Cherry Hill Rd. and passes by the moribund Tim's Rivershore. Has the consist been lengthened for the holiday weekend? 2. Amtrak #88, also with a 9-car consist repeats the performance. 3. Amtrak #89 heads south. You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

However, no apparent exterior work has been done to the deteriorating structure as of 5/27/23, so a "summer" opening of Fatty's is problematic.
