Looking out the rear Gallery cab car of a soon to depart southbound train
Leaving Lorton, passing a railfan filming the train, both canopy structures are visible
Lorton fading into the distance, there is a wooden level-crossing at the southern end of the platform for a single door to open on the opposite, not normally used by VRE, track
