The Obama Express Rolls Through Elkton

Posted on January 23, 2009 by admin

Elkton Town Administrator, Lewis George, was at the Elkton station Saturday when the Obama Express came rolling past the old railroad depot.  He said:  “I took this photograph of  then President-elect Barack Obama’s train blitz through Elkton on Saturday, January 17, 2009, at around 2:30 p.m………..as I stood in the midst of a very cold and patient, but warm and cheering crowd of citizens gathered along the Old North Road RR tracks near Immaculate Conception.”

Thanks Lewis for allowing us to post these excellent shots here.
