If you go north of Baltimore to Perryville Station (off of Route 40) you can catch AMTRAK, MARC and NS. The station sits in the middle of the wye connecting AMTRAK's Northeast Corridor and NS's Port Road to Harrisburg, PA. One can follow the Port Road for a few miles and park right on the trackside as the route squeezes between the Susquehanna River and the cliffs. CSX passes over the Port Road as it crosses the Susquehanna in a high trestle. NS traffic is light and usually at night to avoid interfering with AMTRAK and MARC schedules. CSX is fairly active with 12-14 trains a day (mostly intermodal) and can be easily accessed on almost every road the exits Route 40 to the north. The old B&O Aberdeen Station is prime viewing area with trains coming upgrade in both directions. In Belcamp there is a small industrial park that Westinghouse (?) operates a 25 ton critter and is home to a CSX GP-40-2 and road slug which switches between Belcamp and Baltimore. It sits most nights right at the crossing in the industrial park. Name of park escapes me (Brass Mills I think). Just get off of 40 at the Belcamp exit and head north. Park is on right. Turn at the Mercedes plant to reach switch lead. Much more when I have more time. Tim
