I really enjoy railfanning at Bush St in Baltimore, especially in the evenings.
CSX
An Afternoon In Eastern Maryland
My friend Chris and I had a day to go do some train stuff, and so we did a mix of railfanning and modeling. These are the pics of that day from the CSX Philly Sub and Perryville.
CSX and NS around Baltimore: February 2014
Still excited with my new lens, I decided to head out on Presidents Day to see what I could see.
CSX Light Power: Sept 2013
If you spend a few hours hanging around Saint Denis, you’re bound to see something (well, except for that one day where I did, and I didn’t).
My First Trip to Sandpatch: Summer 2013
I’m not sure how it happened, but I had never spent any time on the old B&O west of Cumberland. That all changed over the 2013 Bedford N Scale Weekend.
An Hour in Canton: August 2013
I had a family errand to run over on the east side of town which gave me a free hour to do some railfanning. It turned out to be a pretty productive hour, with NS, CSX and Canton action afoot.
An Evening In West Baltimore: August 2013
I headed out to watch CSX after work with my friend Steve. Our goal was, specifically, to try and see the CPLs before they fell, but we also caught some trains.
Chasing Q398 Around Locust Point
I love catching trains “off the beaten path”. Sure, everyone (including me) has tons of photos from the common locations: St. Denis, Rockville Bridge, etc… but I really enjoy finding something somewhere that hasn’t been photographed to death. In this case, I caught CSX Q398, which runs from Cumberland to Locust Point. When arriving in Riverside Yard, it runs the “loop” that surrounds the neighborhood of Locust Point before yarding its train.
CSX in East Baltimore, March 2013
Bayview used to be a great place to sit and watch trains, before the Volunteer Corps of America moved in and ruined it. You could catch mainline action, and if your timing was good, be well-positioned to head off and chase something going down to Canton.
CSX 7850 At Bush St
Another summer evening photo at Bush St. This time, it’s C40-8W coming out of Locust Point.
