I ran into the city this morning and grabbed a few aerial shots. Here is a panorama of the bay bridge.
Monday morning commute from the overpass. This week's challenge was to "Pick a subject then rise above it for your shot."
CSX I13511 passes through L'Enfant as a slow-motion dumpster fire engulfs the DC passenger rail network. About 15 minutes before this was taken, Amtrak 86 derailed in the tunnel just south of Union Station. This required VRE to annul the rest of its inbound trains at L'Enfant and other intermediate stations. The 330 pictured here offloaded at L'Enfant, and eventually limped south on one of the handful of VRE outbound trains that ran this afternoon. It took Amtrak a few hours to get the resources in place for a workaround, but later in the evening they managed to get some very unusual detour moves via JD Tower and Bladensburg behind CSX pilots.
I've been pretty busy lately at work and with home renovations. Not much time for photography or for you guys unfortunately. I'm all done with renos now, and since it's so mild here lately, I was able to commute to work by bike for the first time in February in the last 15 years. We're usually buried deep in snow but this year it's not the case. Global warming?
