Hello, I'm going to be spending a few days at a friend's condo in Milton, De. How often do trains run on the lines down there? Where are the best places to photograph?

So on a weekday (tuesday) a train came north out of Seaford at about 8 am traveling north on the Delmarva Secondary.
Here the train is passing through Bridgeville in an area where a road parallels the rail line for several miles.

A few miles south of Bridgeville is a grain facility in Cannon. They have a track mobile that is sometimes out in plain view. This time it was partially housed and offered a poor shot, but a few years back I got some shots of it. Here it is with a pair of NS locomotives that were also parked at the facility.

On Thorogoods Rd. in Dagsboro, Dagsboro Materials appears to leave their newest locomotive out front and in plain view.

And just a stone's throw away in Dagsboro there seems to always be a bunch of railcars sitting off of Iron Branch Rd. This time there was a locomotive parked as well.
