Potomac Crossing



Fun at the tunnel funnel. An eastbound unit autorack train on the double track Cumberland Sub has priority over a light power set waiting for a clear signal to leave the single track Shenandoah Sub. The crew sitting at the stop signal has just returned from leaving empty rock hoppers at a quarry in Millville, WV, and are on their way back to Brunswick, MD, to tie up for the day. Harpers Ferry, located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, and the juncture of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, is an amazing place to visit, for its awesome scenery, its rich history and, of course, lots of great rail action over bridges and through tunnels.
