Thank you Janusz. We lived about two-four blocks from this spot in Rockville from the time of my birth to when I was five. This was where I witnessed some of the early-fiscally mature CSX. Despite my age, I am quite certain that I witnessed at one point in time or another pre and late Chessie and Seaboard System geeps and sds, and UBs as well as early CSX ACs. On the same ground I also witnessed Amtrak P40s and P42s and MARC Budds, Es and Fs, and their later EMD engines not to mention their B&O and Pennsy era coaches. I also vaguely remember those signals being there and fairly new and there was no crossing bridge over the street. What stands out in crowd for me and my mom was the old equipment and the loads they were carrying: in particular flat cars with various farm tractors and open auto racks with tractors on board. Thanks for helping bring back the memories and well done sir.
