Dates:2/24/2008 - 2/24/2008
Album Info:This series of photos covers a few hours on the afternoon of February 24, 2008 at Point of Rocks, Md. This location is the junction of the CSX Metropolitan and Old Main Line subdivisions. It was a great day for photos with bright sun at the start around 11am with clouds smoothing the light out a bit by the time Q415 went thru at 3:30 pm. All the moves this afternoon were on and off the Met Sub in and out of Washington, DC. /DL

Description:  If the pkoto looks a little fuzzy in places that is because it is. All the switch heaters were running great guns the entire time I was there. The fuel tanks were covered with a 1/2 inch or so of frost.
