Yes, as noted above, I got to hang out with Ed last Friday night, which turned out to be probably the best railfanning experience that I've had along the Northeast Corridor. We caught five or six freight trains coming and going from the Port Road, a couple of MARC trains, and probably a dozen Amtrak trains. My nighttime pictures did not turn out nearly as good as Ed's, so most weren't worth saving. He has a better camera in his phone.
This is the first MARC commuter train that was in the station when I arrived in Perryville. Here, it's deadheading back to Baltimore for the night:
The sunset was beautiful that evening. Ed's shot in his previous post is better, though:
In case anyone is wondering, "Where's Ed?" He's in Perryville.
Just moments after this picture was taken, an Amtrak train passed on the third or fourth track over, and an NS freight (entering the wye to go up the Port Road), a MARC commuter train (tied down in the station but over one track due to the freight), and an Amtrak train of Amtoobs was visible from this spot:
Again, a great night of railfanning. Thanks for including me, Ed!
