Annual Friday afternoon 'last train in' at Winchester, VA. As seen while pohtographing rigs as they line up for the parade.



Here's the info on the RR:

The Winchester and Potomac Railroad (W & P) was the first railroad in Winchester, VA. It was chartered by the Virginia General Assembly in 1831 and ran from Harper’s Ferry to Winchester. The original train stopped at the corner of Water and Market Streets. In March 1862, the United States Army seized the railroad. In 1866, when the Winchester and Potomac was returned to the owners, they decided to lease the right-of-way to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B & O). In 1902, through a third party, the W & P was acquired by the B & O.

All the cars are from Canada and some of them have interesting graffiti.



CSX Engine 6000 pulls in the train then backs the consist into a siding, then moves ahead again to park and lock for the weekend.
