Harper's Ferry, WV - January 2008 - Part 4

The Tip

This is exactly the point where the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers meet. You can walk into Maryland on the railroad bridge. Legally, you are in Maryland as soon as you are over the waters of the Potomac river, as that river is entirely within the state of Maryland. I thought it was interesting how tress and other forms of life have taken over the abandoned bridge abutments.

Railroad Tunnel

This tunnel end was the first thing that greeted us after we crossed the Potomac river on the Railroad Bridge.
