Sure! Point of Rocks, MD is a town with the station you see in the video about an hour northwest of Washington DC. It is the point of connection for the Metropolitan Sub at milepost BA42.8 and the Old Main Line. Everything south (east bound) of Point of Rocks drops from 42.8 to 0.0 at Washington DC while everything west bound jumps up to milepost BA 68.4 at point of rocks as it picks up the mile post markings from the Old Main Line since it was there first. The Point of Rocks station was built in 1873 by the B&O and the Metropolitan sub opened later that same year. Currently the station is closed and has been for quite a while now. CSX owns the buildings and uses it for storage. There are talks of them selling it to the Maryland Department of Transportation who would then renovating it and re-opening it for passenger service (MARC trains probably) with some extensions and improvements. Who knows when or if that will actually happen.
Can you tell me where this was filmed? I'm from Georgia, and the description location has me lost.
