This is one of my favorite photos. The Appalachian Trail has only one passenger railroad station that stops on the trail about one and a half hours north of NYC. Many thru hikers have taken the train and made the journey into the city as a a temporary break from the long days of hiking. The photo was taken looking north.

Another terrific post. I simply adore rail track photos.

Thank you! I do as well. When I got home after taking the photo and saw it on my computer, I was actually pleasantly surprised at how it turned out.

It’s not ON the trail, but the rail station at Harpers Ferry, WV is REALLY close to the AT! It’s a good access point for Washington, DC area.

And that is just as cool because it allows people that might not have access to the AT to take a day or a weekend trip to get acquainted with hiking and the AT. Also, thanks for the info, I had no idea!
