Viewing Album:  WV Miscellany
 
By:George C Johnson
Dates:3/24/1997 - 9/30/2007
Album Info:Some older stuff from Harpers Ferry, WV, shot in March, 1997. Not the best stuff, but better posted online than sitting neglected in a box. Fast forward to Thanksgiving 2006. Went to Harpers Ferry for dinner, and looked forward to seeing some trains as well. No such luck--it rained, and my camera malfunctioned when the only freight came through--and I missed the only Amtrak train of the day. So I took some shots of the tunnel and the station which is currently being renovated by the National Park Service. [GCJ]
