[PRCo] Re: Washington, DC

[Herb Brannon]

The best place to read about the new DC streetcar system is at this
website: www.dcstreetcar.com . There are maps and photos.
I have included four photos to illustrate yesterdays weather here at home
while working on the railroad. Two were taken at Boston Mill station which
is across Riverview Road from Boston Mill Ski Slopes (a National Park
Service attraction) and two were taken in the Village of Peninsula, OH, at
the train station (which is the renovated Baltimore & Ohio train station).
What a difference six hours make.
