Operators view from HF Tower. Normally P871 runs on Friday's only to Brunswick, Maryland, from Washington, DC, but today being a holiday the train made a special run to Martinsburg, West Virginia. This made it possible to photograph a Marc train in daylight here in Harpers Ferry since typically the trains run in the dark this time of year here.
From B&O RDCs to MARC bilevel coaches pulled by electric locomotives and diesels, the Maryland commuting scene has evolved, while trolleys, aka light rail vehicles, are back.
