Thanks!


Go across the Cheasapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel.
The Eastern Shore may have some good stuff.
At least it was the last time I was there.(17 years ago)
I'm sure things have changed,but worth a shot!

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

OK, VA beach itself hasn't hd trains for years. Norfolk, Im not sure. there is a Railroad Museum in Richmond VA. Im in Brunswick MD, and the area Im in has the great Point of Rocks station, the Brunswick area, with a Railroad museum thats opened on the weekends, and Harpers Ferry, and an average of 50 CSX/ MARC (Weekdays)/ AMTRAK trains a day.
