Window Views - Stairwell windows

While waiting for Big E's train on Monday I spotted these windows on the stair well of the parking garage. The yellow railings stood out in the afternoon sun.

My World Tuesday - BWI Rail Station

Tracks to the north and lights on the new extended platform

Monday, Marianne's sister, Big E, came to visit. In recent years she has taken Amtrak from Connecticut to the rail station near the Baltimore airport. The station is primarily a commuter station with service by both Amtrak and MARC. MARC service from this station serves Baltimore and towns to the north, as well as Washington, and several Maryland towns to the south and Washington, DC. The station is the concrete building between the tracks and two large parking garages. The platform on the southbound track has been extended and work to extend the northbound platform is in progress. We are going to enjoy Big E's visit.

Marianne's sister went home today via Amtrak, catching the train at the Baltimore BWI station. Her brother and other sister left earlier in the week. We certainly enjoyed having all of them visit. Lots of conversation and laughs and songs and food and cards, along with a few tears, as we remembered the good times and the not so good. See Marianne's blog for more picures and comments.
