Hello! A few weeks ago I took a quick trip to Harpers Ferry, WV and had a great time. I posted my report on my blog. You can find the story parts here:

Train 30 - Capitol Limited
Harpers Ferry
Train 29 - Capitol Limited


Cheers,
David

Seat 54 in both directions? (or did I misremember?)

How strange?

Very nice report, thanks.

Nice story David, I stayed at Harpers Ferry on my
first trip back east and stayed at the Hilltop House. No taxi's it was a long uphill walk.
You story brought back plenty of my memories.
Thanks

Chris

Very nice report, thanks.

You're right, I was assigned 54 in both directions! I forgot about that.

Passengers had difficulty figuring out which seats belonged to which overhead numbers so although I assigned 54 on Train 30, I sat in 58.

With apologies to Toody and Muldoon, David, it was a "Seat 54, Where are You?" trip.

I enjoyed your report. Harpers Ferry very interesting too, though it's years since I've actually visited, it is my favorite Amtrak stop for passing through--from DC--such a beautiful approach with the confluence of waters.

Great report David.
We always enjoy our trips on the Capitol Ltd and especially the ride from Cumberland to DC via Harpers Ferry.
