Nice shot! I saw it once in the day time - I was working my summer job with the electric company in Georgetown looking for an underground line fault where the tracks were in the street near the waterfront. I didn't notice him until he blew his horn to get me off the tracks!

Thanks for sharing this, being born in Georgetown, this is pretty special to me. Have never seen many photos from this area.

Chris Dort says, in another forum: "thanks for bringing back memories I was firing jobs out of Washington at that time and just mite have been on this. I remember going down there in the winter and there was water frozen over the rails at this point, we had to slowly break it off by running up on it and then backing up almost derailing the ice was so strong. Notice the fusee in the knuckle we did this to wake up drivers because they did not see the big locomotive with a bright headlight on it. Had a lady drive into the knuckle of the locomotive down near the Power plant and when I spoke to her she said that she never saw the locomotive and did not even know that we still ran there."
