Hi, On Wednesday November 4 friend Jim Kleeman and I spent a day railfanning in the Baltimore, MD metropolitan area. We began with the Canton Railroad hoping to photograph their newest power. We were successful. In addition, we were joined by Andrew Ordun who I met for the first time. The first three photos wre taken at Boston Street where both the Canton and NS cross the road. The final two photos were taken at the Access World warehouse on Holabird Ave.





After finishing with the Canton RR we drove over to Sparrows Point, MD. This was the site of a huge Bethlehem Steel Corp. mill. All of those facilities have been razed and the Tradepoint Atlantic Industrial Park has been built here. The industrial park even has its own railroad - Tradepoint Rail. We caught the only job working returning light engine to the shop (above and below).


The crew parked in front of the shop and went in. We took some shots and left.

For our final location we headed over to the Martin State Airport MARC stop. Among the trains we saw was this eastbound Northeast Regional, 
Amtrak #20, The Crescent,

a westbound Northeast Regional,

MARC #520 headed for Perryville, MD,

Norfolk Southern local H04 eastbound (above and below) and


an eastbound Northeast Regional.

Thanks for looking.
