Railroad worker staging baggage for the Southern Crescent at Alexandria, VA.
A baggage man hauls a baggage cart down the platform so it will be positioned next to the baggage car for the southbound Southern Crescent. There was always lots of activity at the Alexandria, VA train station with people getting on and off trains and others watching the activity from the grassy slope south of the station. Multiple tracks supported the RF&P, Southern Railway and Amtrak here. In the background, an RF&P freight heads south from Potomac Yard.
