6070 ROCKS
Title:  6070 ROCKS
Description:  By Esther Fairchild. CSXT 6070 (still showing its former C&O initials) and three others bring a train westbound off the B&O "Old Main Line" by the beautiful Point of Rocks station and on toward Brunswick and Cumberland, Maryland in the Spring of 1987 (date approx). About this picture, Esther says: "In the little room at the front of the station (closest to the camera) there was a radio which the maintenance guys left on all the time, so if you stood by the window for a while you could hear different trains talking and get an idea of what trains might be coming. My main interest at the time was the old buildings in the area, not the trains, but pretty soon I got hooked on train-watching. That shadow on the brick platform isn't a UFO following me around; it's the shadow of a platform lamp - the long shape is the famous cast-iron Point of Rocks station sign." (thanks to contributor Jim Bruce for correcting us on the owner of the 6070)

B&O 9940
Title:  B&O 9940
Description:  My friend Esther has a "thing" for passenger trains in general and RDC cars in particular, as is evident in this picture of the B&O 9940 smoking toward Washington Union Station in the summer of 1987. Those B&O plaques are hopefully in some museum now.

A Pair to Draw To
Title:  A Pair to Draw To
Description:  B&O RDC 9921 and a mate are tied up for the day at "NA" cabin, Martinsburg, W.Va. in November, 1987 (date approx). In the background lurks C&O 7569, which I believe was part of a pusher engine assigned to help eastbound coal trains get over the hill between Martinsburg and Hobbs, W.Va.
