Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

This is the observation car from the Capitol limited, one of the more popular trains of the B&O railroad, which ran on the line from DC to Chicago.  

I thought this was a neat post since, throughout the last two years, we’ve taken pictures of many of the stations along the MD portion of this line, and in fact yesterday’s picture of the bridge to Harper’s ferry would be the last place this train would pass in MD.     Here are some of the other places along the line that we’ve stopped:

Silver Spring (where it first enters MD)

Kensignton (next stop down the line)

Dickerson (mid-way)

Harper’s Ferry Tunnel

Though, largely just a namesake, Amtrak still operates a train called the Capitol Limited between DC and Chicago.
