Maryland Daily Photo Every Week Day a New Picture from MD

Maybe you too were fortunate enough to catch the MPT special about old barns in Maryland.   I was enthralled.  Did you know that Maryland is 8th on the list of barns per square mile built more than 60 years ago.   Well it turns out that one of the oldest and most unique is on the grounds of the Monocacy Battlefield.  So I searched through all my pictures and, of course, despite my tendency to take a picture of everything in a site, I still didn’t have a picture of that barn.  I did find one of this pump.  So, enjoy.

104 years old, the Brunswick Marc station is another former B&O station on the lines from both DC and Baltimore to Harper’s Ferry.   Today with no western passenger service out of Baltimore, it serves DC commuters on the MARC line.

In Thurmont, just north of the downtown area, MDP found a tank and couldn’t help but stop to take a picture.

I very much like the re-use of an old railroad section to create this barrier at the Point of Rocks station.

Just got a few pictures back from my trip to point of rocks.  While i could clearly see the train in the viewfinder, in the finished shot all there is is glare.like it better this way.

Sorry for the late post today.  You can probably guess where this picture came from
