Viewing Album:  Lansdowne En Passant
 
By:David Larrabee
Dates:3/23/2009 - 2/20/2010
Album Info:To this photographers eye tha best trackside perspective at Lansdowne, Md. is from the Lansdowne Road overpass between the Lansdowne and West Baltimore signals. There is plenty of parking and good VHF radio reception from this vantagepoint. The first 6 shots are taken looking timetable west (in a southerly direction) from that ovbrpass. The 2nd series of 3 photographs are shot from Hammonds Ferry Road. /DL

Generally this is an all autorack train but with the economic turn down other freight is being added to the consist. For folks who keep track of freight cars the last box car is UP 466226. /DL
