Here we see the Western Maryland's last GP40 teamed up with unpowered MDOT 7100 with a westbound afternoon run. The train has just gone through Washington Grove, and is passing Wayne Feeds. My grandfather recalls the mill being a frequent childhood "playground" for him and his friends. Just ahead and around the bend is Gaithersburg.
