Approaching Washington D.C. Union Station (past MARC,Amtrak)

Video taken, while riding on MARC Camden Line train 853, recording from Ivy City into Washington Union Station. Includes excellent footage of a Amtrak regional 7-car train pulled by a HHP-8, arriving alongside. Also includes departing MARC Penn Line train 530, also pulled by an HHP-8. Includes parked equipment at the station (MARC GP40WH-2, another Amtrak HHP-8, 3 GE P42 Genesis engines, and a MARC Kawasaki bi-level)

I like the stretch of track near New Carrolton where Amtrak runs adjacent to the DC Metro.

Yeah, me too. All of Metro's lines run parrallel to commuter rail or Amtrak at some point.

@headman844 I heard they are about to refurbish that place. Fixed it up and put some shops around it.
