Potomac Eagle Scenic Rail Excursion |
Description: |
Eager to view the Potomac Eagle Scenic Rail train, we arrived at the Romney, WV depot early before the crowds came. My wife agreed to stand by the sign - such a good wife to put up with my rabid train hobby! |

I have long since forgotten how many cars were in the train that day but it was upwards of 10-12 closed coaches, diner,/concessions, baggage and open platform cars. |

Description: |
The lead loco was the pride of the Potomac Eagle Scenic Rail - C&O F7A #8016 built by EMD in December of 1948 as Clinchfield F3A #800. It passed through the SBD, CSX, and SBVR rosters before landing the starring role on the Potomac Eagle Scenic train. |

Description: |
Face to face with the brightly painted F3A, it is an impressive sight. This F3A has been painted in the traditional Chesapeake & Ohio blue and yellow paint scheme for its role in the Potomac Eagle Scenic Rail Excursions. Although never on the official roster of the C&O, it nevertheless represents the line beautifully as it heads the scenic train rides. |

Early morning mist slightly clouds the right of way view that the Potomac Eagle train will be taking. Beautiful fall colors and river views await us on our trip. The train ride is shown in another album to be posted. |
