Pigs south |
| Description: |
In the 80s, containerization had not taken over the intermodal world to the extent it has today. This 79 car train of TOFC flats was typical, seen passing the Alexandria station. To the right, a DC Metro train rolls out of the King St station, making this photo truly intermodal. |

Northbound pigs |
| Description: |
I believe this was train 100, rolling north into Potomac Yard with 28 trailer flats. RF&P was peculiar in that even units faced north, odd units faced south, as seen here. |
