“On the Advertised” At 12:27 PM, Amtrak 109 Metroliner, with AMTK AEM7 948, is adhering to schedule, southbound just south of FREDERICK ROAD (mp 99.9) in Baltimore, MD, on the NEC, November 21, 1990.
I believe the track in the foreground was referred to as the "Loudon Park Pickup Track". The lead to the former PRR Claremont Branch is just behind the photographer.
Lots of acton one of the busiest - and fastest - sections of the Northeast Corridor plus the Capitol Limited going through Harpers Ferry, Sand Patch Tunnel and more.
