A Day with Dale Diacont - March 29, 2022

Hi, I met friend Dale Diacont in Union Bridge, MD for a day of railfanning at 8 AM. Maryland Midland train UBEG would operate that day to Emory Grove, MD and return. 

We set up for our first photo just east of New Windsor, MD. Our intention was to get the train at Westminster, MD but traffic foiled that plan.

We did, however, beat the train to Reisterstown, MD. Next we checked out Emory Grove. However, the power was already up at the west end of the interchange tracks so we headed back west.

 
Having more than enough time we waited at Westminster for the train when it came west.

Getting to the eastside of Union Bridge before the train was a piece of cake.

Our photography of the Maryland Midland ended with the crew switching in Union Bridge.

After lunch at the Buttersburg Inn in Union Bridge we drove to Brunswick, MD where we would spend the rest of the day. First up was a train switching the west end of the yard. The Dogwood Trees were in bloom making for some nice backdrops.



Later a MARC train arrived. The caboose on the left is on display.

Coal empties were next.


 The final train for us was the westbound Capitol Limited a few minutes after 6.

Thanks for looking.
