This reminds me of the time when a friend was going for an artsy photo of a lake and bike. The bike fell in the water. She got a great picture and a story to tell after that.

You shoulda seen me hop on the bike after I took the photo.

Linden Lane FTW again; these tracks are utilized by the MARC train and various freight.

Arg! I remembered “railroad” as the hunt word. Oh well, it is along side the W&OD which was a railway.

New York Interconnector Railroad – Completed the connection between the Pennsylvania and New Haven Railroad systems. The East River Arch Bridge (aka: Hell Gate Bridge) spans that channel of the East River.

For railway today, I submit Wilkes Tunnel in Alexandria. It used to be a railway tunnel back in the day before trains lost a competition to cars and trucks. The rail line extending down Wilkes Street went through a long tunnel with walls extending between South Royal and Lee streets.

The Shepherd Branch, a rail line down to the Blue Plains sewage treatment plant, was envisioned as the first leg of the DC Streetcar network. It was planned to give access to the Anacostia waterfront with not only the light rail line, but a parallel bike path. However, CSX reneged on the deal and DC backed out. The only part that was built was a test track next to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. What’s inexplicable is there is still power to one of the railway signals.

Sunset over the Franconia train tracks
It is silly how much I love trains and train tracks. I think it is a bit of wanderlust and the wondering about where those tracks could take me….

1/26/22: Railway (Potomac Yard, Alexandria VA)

Interesting Tidbit: The first line to traverse the Potomac Yard property was built to link Alexandria and Washington. Completed in 1857, the Alexandria and Washington Railroad had six trains daily, leaving from a station on St. Asaph Street. Passengers found it a fast and convenient way to travel between the two cities and to connect with trains headed north. In addition, food and other products could be transported by rail for sale in Washington or transferred to northbound trains in the capital
