Thought you were on the Point of Rocks bridge at first, beautiful old station there too, you're probably familiar with it. Been to the coffee shop in the old church there in Brunswick, Beans in the Belfry? Nice place. Trains are cool, I wonder how many folks who live in the area now have no clue that the reason Potomac Yards is called that is that, before it became the shopping and high-rise place it is now, it was a huge railroad switching yard!
The yard was active into the 70's, as I recall, had an incline where they'd haul cars up and let them roll down the other side where'd they'd get switched onto the track they needed to be on to get hauled out in the right train. Yard must have been a mile long or more. Stay safe out there!
Thank you for your kind words, Ben. I'm so happy that you are enjoying your W800, it is a wonderful motorcycle. Maybe someday I might get one as well. Have a great day and a good week, sir.

I've been to that coffee shop, nice town, love the train station. I've heard that about Potomac yards. Have a good day and a good week, sir.
