Pooch at Martinsburg
Amtrak P30CH #705 is pictured in the station siding at Martinsburg WV. The slide has a processing date of Jan 1978 so this looks to have been taken during a warmer time during 1977.
Judging by the train's apparent stationary appearance and the angle of the sun, my guess is this is a weekend edition of the Blue Ridge, train #704 awaiting it's 4;05pm departure for DC according to a 1977 timetable.
After the Capitol Limited was reintroduced in late 1981, the Blue Ridge service was eventually wrapped up into MARC commuter service in the late 1980s.
No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection.
