CSX Train @ Point of Rocks
CSX locomotive #900 pulling empty coal cars into the mountains at Point of Rocks, Maryland. I took this from the towpath in the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park. The tracks run parallel to the canal. Trains became the preferred transportation and the canal project was halted. This track was part of the B&O Railroad (Baltimore & Ohio). This train was remarkably quiet. I had less 10 seconds between hearing it and getting the camera ready to shoot. Fortunately I had the camera out to take river pics when I heard the train. #CSX #PointOfRocks #train #locomotive #Maryland #C&OCanalNationalHistoricPark #towpath
