Steel At Magnolia

Yesterday, I found my way to Magnolia, WV to scout potential locations for shooting trains in fall color. The trees are not quite ready and the sky wasn't the best for most of the day, but here are some relatively unedited samples. The bit of color above is actually the ridge just north of Great Cacapon, WV - about 20 miles from Magnolia.

West Portal, Stuart Tunnel, Magnolia.

Westbound Q400 clears the signals at Magnolia.

Caboose! These things are exceedingly rare on a train like this. Weird.

Venturing onto the trestle over the Potomac at Magnolia, looking west through Graham Tunnel.

Q373 rolls west toward Paw Paw and points beyond.

Q415 crossing the Potomac at Magnolia. Where were you this morning, when the sun would have been right on your nose? Phooey.

Dead Tree! That's mainly for Mom. She loves dead tree pictures.

A little switching work at Hancock, MD on the way home.

That's all for now. Still scanning hundreds of negatives from 1997-2006. Ciao!
