Point Of Rocks

Another of the many attractive photo locations around the public campground in Brunswick, MD. is the photogenic station at Point Of Rocks! This medium telephoto view has long been a favorite of mine here! Tonight CSX 5242 is coming off the line that goes past Gaithersburg Station which we visited earlier in the trip. I remember getting dusted off by the sixty mph freights there! The freights pass through here at a much slower speed, as behind me they enter onto the double track main west to Cumberland and beyond. Out of view to the left here is the double track main to Baltimore. Let me tell you, it is something else to be standing atop the stepladder here, watching through the Mamiya 80mm as a westbound quietly (and quickly) rolls into the scene! What a backdrop to photograph a train against! Shot on May 16, 2012 at 02:27 at Point Of Rocks, MD. with the 5D and Mamiya 80/1.9 lens. Please enjoy! Comments are welcomed.

All The Best In 2012;
