DId you ever go to the boat launch on the northwest side of Rockville? I love the entire NS main line in Pa from Easton to Johnstown. My all-time favorite railfan location is the area across the street from the Amtrak station.

My old school was right next to some RR tracks. When I was out for recess I would watch trains go by, I remember my teacher draging me in just as the air-horns of the GP38-2 were blowing, and me shouting, "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Is that railfan spirit or what![:D][(-D][(-D][(-D]

In no particular order:

Strasburg (been going there since I was 5, still have the pictures)
While were at it, the Penn. RR Museum across the street.

The B&O Museum in Baltimore. Several "old friends" I used to ride on are there. It's nice to go see them. Cant wait til it reopens!

The Western Maryland Scenic RR in Cumberland. The cab ride from Frostburg to Cumberland was cool enough, but then continuing the trip to Ridgely W.Va, turning the steamer on the wye at Knobley yard, and then "putting her to bed" back in Ridgely made having the wife chase the train all worth it![:D][:D][:D]

Setting up the camera and video equiptment at Enola, Point of Rocks, Harpers Ferry, Hagerstown, Meyersdale or anywhere else, listening to the radio traffic and swapping stories with friends, while we wait for trains to come by.[8D]
