Wasting No Time...
Late afternoon on an early autumn day, along the CSX Metropolitan Subdivision Main Line at Dickerson, Maryland…
And as the late day sun paints the trees – and even the diesel exhaust – in a golden glow, CSX 7325, a GE C40-8W
and her companion, an EMD “Geep,” are wasting no time moving this eastbound mixed freight along on the high iron.
With a mighty series of blasts, 7325 blows for an unprotected gravel road grade
crossing (*) just beyond the 1891 B&O built station the train will soon roar past.

politeness, thy name is deciduous tree! their radiant welcome couldn't be any warmer: "hail to thee, iron horse, hail! your sight fills us with awe…" ; ) delightful, this magical rapport between the foliage and the passing train! greetings, sabine.Thomas Reitzel 13/12/2014 14:24
Yes - what´d I say , lots of (loco)motives around there!
Great shot, but I wonder if you may have released the shutter again when the train had come nearer? Seems to me the ideal point is here immediately before that DIB-sign, neutral background and a well lighted spot!
Br, Tom
