Ridden this stretch of track several times over the years. Thanks for the view!

22:07 ok wtf is the point of having concrete ties for just 10ft while everything else is wooden? Also i love the Capitol Limited. Especially during the winter time.

Interesting, on this stretch of track shown here there have been 3 major rail accidents. 1906 B&O train crashed into the back of a passenger train in dense fog, killing 53 people and injuring more than 70 at the Terra Cotta station( Fort Totten). 1996 MARC train collided with Capitol Limited in Silver Spring killing 11 injuring 26. 2 Washington Metro trains Fort Totten collided 9 deaths and 80 injured 2009.

I have heard of the MARC and the Metro accidents but not the Fort Totten.

It is kind of of sad how poor the condition is of the track. Especially from 23 minutes and on. Severely neglected infrastructure.

Notice the WMATA subway line next to it - that is the Red Line - the core of the WMATA in Montgomery County. I took it myself - not the Capitol Limited.
