Point of Rocks - No. 2

A sunny late afternoon in late September at Point of Rocks, Maryland...

A westbound MARC commuter train is arriving on the Metropolitan Branch
main line from Washington DC, bound for Martinsburg, West Virginia.

The two tracks at left are the historic B&O Old Main Line which brings CSX
heavy freights through the craggy Patapsco Valley (*) from Relay, near Baltimore,
to join up here at the Point of Rocks wye to continue toward Brunswick,
Harpers Ferry and points farther west.

The wide angle view was captured through a Nikkor 24mm lens on my Nikon FE.

    A great point of view, which draws the view, along the railway tracks, to this little church. Well done.
    Greetings, Manuel
