Shady Grove Station facing SB towards Rockville. That's the Indianola Dr bridge.

You know, black white black white. Like a checker board kinda. Or a chess board. Something like that.

I think you're seeing a combination of pixellation from excessive JPEG compression and the supports that hold the white cover up over the third rail, if that's the area you're referring to.

That looks like an orange line train, but I can't figure out the bridge crossing the tracks. It looks like an older area.

Could it be just south o Rockville -- with the bridge being the one just south of Veirs Mill Road

Chris got it, and bonus points for identifying the bridge (which I would have said was the Redland Road bridge, but I can see the shadow of the Redland Road bridge over the interlocking).

Life's in the way - didn't get home until 12 the last two days.  Probably won't tonight either.

Rush me, it's fine - this is one of my more immediate goals.  A little push might help :-)

HAHA Ok. Speaking of that photo at the top, my computer made it looked "checkered", but once I got on a better working computer, now I see it's not "checkered". Can we do more of these "guess the photo" thingys?
