WM (Ex C&O) GP9 5994 crossing Bethesda Ave., (Jan 1978)
Here you get it all - a Western Maryland engine, of C&O heritage on B&O tracks. Love it. Note the load of wood on the running board of the engine. Train is Westbound.

Anyhow I think this is mislabeled - the train is heading NNE and not west. The parking lot was located on the SE corner of this intersection, and the wooden buildings in the background were on the north side of Bethesda Boulevard. (The shadows give some clues too.)
Thanks again!
