RF&P 131 with freight and Metro in 1983  Contributor's Pick!       
This is the Alexandria, Virginia station area. The brick building with two large doors farthest to the left is the Amtrak station and next to the right is its platform. On the third track over is a Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac RR Co. southbound freight headed by GP35 #131. Right above the train is the Metro stop with a train just leaving the station SB. The date is September 12, 1983.

Zachary DeVore General What a catch and great shot. Of course, the area around the Alexandria station and King Street Metro stop look nothing like that anymore (all replaced by mediocre modern buildings), but thanks for sharing! 11/16/2007 10:05:17 PM
