Amtrak’s Busiest Day 2014
I tried something different this year: going up to Delaware for Amtrak’s busiest day. Ironically, it resulted in more freight action but missing the special Amtrak moves.
Impromptu Railfanning: Late November 2014 on the CSX Philly Sub
My wife was out of town for the day, so my friend Tristan came down to Baltimore for a day of eating badly and trains. While we were out and about, I grabbed a quick photo of an eastbound CSX train on the Philly Sub.
The West Side of Baltimore: November 2014
My friend Chris and I took the opportunity of a nice November day for me to show him around the parts of the West Side of Baltimore he hadn’t seen yet.
Quick Stop in Harrisburg, November 2014
I was in Harrisburg recently to help a friend move. He offered BBQ and railfanning in exchange. I thought it was a fair trade.

My friend Chris runs a railfan video company, which provides a great excuse to sneak out and go railfanning, even just for a few hours. On this day, we decided to go scouting locations on the NEC in northeastern Maryland and Delaware.
Fall 2014 Middle Division Trip Part 2: Sunday
Picking up from the previous day’s excitement, this one started with a run in with a friend, and then a chase for the ages up the west slope. It then continued with another great chase for some rare mileage, and finally a few minutes at Lewistown, for yet another Conrail classic unit.
Fall 2014 Middle Division Trip Part 1: Saturday
My friend Russ organized a railfan weekend heading out to the NS Pittsburgh Line at the end of September, and it turned out to be the best weekend of railfanning that I’ve had in a long time.
MARC On Saturday at Martin State
MARC has been running on Saturday all year, I happened to be at the Martin State Airport station while showing a new friend around town.
Lance Myers’s Aerial Photos
A buddy of mine has done something interesting: he bought a Phantom Quadcopter, mounted a camera, and started taking photos of railroad subjects from his “Foam Drone”. His work is really cool because it brings a whole new perspective to the railfan photo world. You can check it out on Flickr here.
