82 arrives in Germantown, one of the many fast growing suburbs located along CSX's Metropolitan Subdivision.

Most MARC service on the Brunswick line terminates in Brunswick, but several trains each day (including this one) continue on to Martinsburg, WV.

Dealing with rush hour traffic on the Beltway is never fun, but it was worth it to see double headed Es on this MARC westbound.

The days of GP40s and 30Ms leading freights on CSX seem like a distant memory in today's widecab era.

Where else could one see a revenue passenger train led by an E and two Fs in 1992?

A morning MARC train destined for Union Station passes JD Tower, which controlled the junction of the Capital and Alexandria Subdivisions.

68 shoves another train of suburban commuters toward their Washington DC area offices after a brief stop in Greenbelt.

Lots of power on this one, three up front, four in the middle and two more on the rear.

The caboose behind 4546 was a Chessie safety caboose, lettered for the Cumberland shop. The shop switcher #9565 wore a similar paint scheme.

Judging by the faded paint, it looks like this engine has spent a lot of time in the desert. 2497 is southbound with a mixed freight with the Sears building dominating the background.

4553 is looking a little rough around the edges after more than two decades of tough service.

Too bad the middle engine wasn't another Chessie unit, although the UP SD40-2 was probably a good catch at the time since foreign power was a lot less common in '91!

One of several R/C switchers assigned to US Steel's ET plant takes a break between chores. In addition to the USX activity, the Union Railroad and CSX can also be photographed in this area.

Northbound with six units, high above the mighty Cumberland River.

Southbound 229 roars through one of several massive cuts on the old CNO&TP.
