CSX 4815 leading Q439-22
Title:  CSX 4815 leading Q439-22
Description:  We waited over an hour for our 1st train at the Riverdale MARC station. During this period the MARC announcer made frequent announcements that MARC would be late because of freight traffic. Well apparently this was the offending train.... /DL

The CMQ is in business.
Title:  The CMQ is in business.
Description:  Moose River Lumber is located in Jackman, Maine on MMA trackage taken out of service for about a year because of the Oil Train wreck at Lac-Megantic PQ in Canada. This company was the only business served by rail between Lac-Megantic and Brownville Jct. It looks like the new Central Maine & Quebec has resumed service. I expect the folks at Moose River are glad to see the trains running again! /DL

MARC 22 leading P846
Title:  MARC 22 leading P846
Description:  It didn't take long for P846 to round the bend. He'd been held at the signal. These passenger trains can certainly pick up speed, he went through at a good clip bound for this next stop at College Park. /DL

The meet.
Title:  The meet.
Description:  The P846 that just flashed thru Riverdale (showing no headlight on track2) is discharging passengers at the College Park platform. Beside him facing west is P853 showing a pair of head lamps on track 1. Over head is a Washington Metro Subway train that has just come above ground. He'll stop at College Park as well. His passengers headed onto MARC will probably have to wait for the next train however. /DL
