Railfanning at Point of Rocks

Even though it was cloudy, the weather was mild today. So Evelyn and I headed out to Point of Rocks, Maryland to railfan. This means you hang out by train tracks (we prefer train stations) and wait for trains to go by. This is how we shoot the videos for Evelyn's YouTube account.

Today really tested Evelyn's patience . . . or was it mine? In the two hours we waited, we only saw one train - the Amtrak. The engineer did some fancy stuff with the horn, so that was neat. And we did get a video, so today's excursion wasn't a complete bust.

Evelyn is so train-crazy and loves freight trains so much, she probably would've waited all day if it meant seeing more trains. But we only had a certain amount of snacks and water, and I could only let her play in the ballast rocks, so we had to head home eventually.
