ah... Rails to Trails... The Capital Crescent Trail is a great concept....


too bad there were not more trains in this area
or we could convert more tracks into trails


and this...
looks like Anywhere USA then...
and with all of its chain stores and chain restaurants now
it looks like Anywhere USA now...

I used to break bottles while walking the tracks... collect flat top beer cans... and flatten pennies when the train came
and yes...
I did hop that train a few times
and jumped off like a young fool with that train moving at dangerous speeds

it stopped for Bethesda Ave... it slowed for River Road
but on its way to Georgetown... IT GOT SOME DECENT SPEED!
