Peak Bloom

There are certain locations in American railroading photography that have become iconic over the years. But a few of them, like the shot of Amtrak trains under the Cherry Blossoms leaving Union Station, take a little bit of extra luck. The peak bloom often only lasts a few days, and the weather is wildly unpredictable. However, conditions this past friday morning were near perfection to showcase the stunning beauty of the blossoms at full bloom, as a southbound Amtrak crossed over the Washington channel, bound for long bridge and a trip down the RF&P for a crew change in Richmond.
