Description Endless ribbons of rail snake out from the platforms of DC's Union Station underneath a web of canterary wire as the K-Tower stands a silent vigil. To the right, the westbound Capitol Limited is prepped for departure as a trio of drawf signals glare a strict halt signal.

Awesome shot!

How did you get it? Where are you working in DC?

Thanks. I took it during National Train Day while I was in line for one of the train tours(best way of not getting yelled at by Security, I think).

As far as where I'm working, I'm working at a sign shop off of Rhode Island Avenue

This place looks so much neater on the track diagrams... Kinda have to wonder just how much one could see from the upper windows of K Tower with all that catenary in the way. Might as well move it onto the top of the parking structure - the view is awesome from there.

Yes it is. This [link] was shot from the parking garage a while back.

Dunnu how well one can see from the K tower, though.

Someday, someone will post a photo of the view from inside the tower. Until then, we shall just have to wonder.

Taking pictures of the rail infrastructure of Union Station. Aren't you concerned about the security and what they might think.
