Eric and I headed up to Point of Rocks after work today.
Nothing like the grinding of metal to ease the stress of a long week. Weeknights bring us the opportunity to see the MARC train and the multitude of rail commuters. In our short time up at Point of Rocks we had 3 MARC trains. I always love the looks we get from those commuting as we just stand and watch the train. There's just something so calming about the sound of the train...almost a feelng of freedom.
We were first greeted with a CSX intermodel heading WB. A couple MARC trains and an Amtrak later we got our 2nd freight train of empty coal hoppers. I took this picture of the train passing by the Point of Rocks station.
Night was fast approaching and the traffic was starting to slow. I took this final picture of the night of the signal towers and the sun setting over the mountains.
It was the perfect ending to a busy day. Just Eric, the sound of trains and me. What more could a girl ask for?!?
