Hear the lonely call of the train whistle...going home.



Julie and I at the train station. I thought it would be fun to
smoke so my friend Jude, from Ocracoke, gave me
candy cigarettes. Don't we look like girls of the 30's?




Clock tower in Fredricksburg, Maryland, from my train window.



I love this photo outside the train station in Washington, D.C.
You can buy a newspaper from anywhere in the world here.




This is inside the train station in Washington, D.C.
The dome is painted with gold.



I believe this to be an old station in Pennsylvania. Also taken from my
window. It is so lonely and desolate, what stories it could tell!




This is a photo in the dining car. I love how the sun slants
on the table.

Here is the column from the trip, enjoy!!

Lou Ann, I believe the photo of the clock tower is in Richmond, Va at Main Street Station, rather than Fredericksburg, MD,?? or perhaps you meant Fredericksburg, VA.? Looking out through the train car window, locations can run together easily..... :) None the less, great photos and blog!!!!

Yes, I believe you are right. I think it is in Richmond. I took hundreds of pictures without writing them down as we went!! Thanks for pointing this out, you must know the area!! Lou Ann

You do look very hip French..... Hope you did smoke all your candy at one time. Glad your trip was good. Pics are great. No moss under those feet. Jude

I've never been on a train trip...until now!

Thank you.
