Description
My dad took this photo on May 20, 1951 as the L&N passenger train heads toward the downtown Union Station. The intersection is of Georgetown Pike and Newtown Pike as they met in Lexington. It would be hard to recognize this area now. The tracks are gone and the entire intersection reworked.

Wow, David, I have to ask ... Georgetown Rd ... Union Station? This has to be the DC area? I have to tell you, if so, my own dad took me to see trains like these in the same general area. There was a wicked bend in the tracks in Riverdale, Maryland ... and Daddy used to put me in the car at night, drive to the bend and park just where the train makes the bend, the car facing the bend where the train would come. With that one giant white eye (headlight) on the front of the train, you can't imagine the terror little Lois felt when that huge, noisy thing came straight at our car!!!! This would have been 1952 or 1953ish?? Could well have been the same train!!!! Great capture and great memory ... well, not SO great a memory, at least not at the time, lol!!! But a great memory now!!! f t

This is Georgetown, Kentucky. The train is coming from Cincinnati, so it could have been a train going west from DC.
