Amtrak from DC to Southern Pines NC. Sceneries trip over the the water. Not like European trains which are quieter. You can read, listen to music or watch a movie with your headphones, or chill. I saw a couple bringing their wine and picnicking. To each their own. Train was delayed and late. Trio enjoyable.

bumpy but very nice bridge used by the red and blue line to connect to the Capitol and commuter areas.

I have this original 1861 newspaper page of the Long Bridge. Title is "The advance guard of the grand Army of the United States crossing the Long Bridge over the Potomac at 2am on May 24, 1861."

Long Bridge is a double tracked railroad bridge that crosses over the Potomac river.

I'm giving the Long Bridge two stars. Uninspiring, rusty, with pealing paint. It long overdue for replacement which I believe isn't going to occur anytime soon. A second double span is currently in the planning stages to vastly expand the rail capacity into the district.
