Bob, you using your time machine again?

[Bob Bufkin]

If I had a time machine I wouldn't be in Alex, VA, I'd be in Hagerstown, MD or Harrisburg, PA.

If I had a time machine I wouldn't be in Alex, VA...

I would!  Bring on all of the RF&P, C&O, and Southern Ry. stuff that I missed!

I'd be in Charlottesville VA, but Alexandria would be just fine. Just About anywhere in the 60's 70's actually.

Anyway, here is a sampling of the Summers railfanning.

A southbound CSX train past the Ashland VA station.



Some Tunnel motors shot from the interstate in Limon Colorado.


Between Limon and Denver we saw this UP freight from I-70.



A UP local at Dotsero CO, once again shot from the interstate.


Back east. Harpers Ferry.



The local heads to Winchester.








The 4:43pm Amtrak rolls into Williamsburg VA

Bob, did they have a PV convention in D.C. that allowed you to catch those going home? I don't remember hearing about one myself. I caught a Southern passenger car with Southern tail marker on the rear of P098, the Silver Meteor, today in Folkston, GA.

[Bob Bufkin]

Someone mentioned on another forum that there was a private car convention and they were probably going to it.  The conductor told me that they were picking up a private party in White Surphur Springs going to Chicago.
