Abandoned railroad siding near Columbia Country Club |
The siding continues to the trees almost to Connecticut Avenue. Here is a nother bit of it. In the background you can see a bench and the Georgetown Branch trail. If you zoom in you can see one of the rails is covered with a bit of chain link fence.
The siding goes right up to the parking lot of Parkway drycleaning. I wonder how many people have parked here never knowing what is right next to them.
End of the line |
Next time you are going down that part of the trail, it is worth taking a minute to check out this relic of slightly earlier times.
Awesome! Cool find. Thank you for sharing the photos. It's amazing how much of the RR is still left if you just look hard enough. I have been meaning to do an inventory of the remains in the dead of winter but somehow something always gets in the way. I will try this winter, hopefully before things are demolished for the Purple Line construction! Thanks again - Ben (http://sluggyjunx.com/rr/gb/)
