Amtrak 171, fog, full moon and congestion at Forest. See description.
EB on Track 1 with huge WB on Track 2.
Both stopped until Amtrak 171 nears. Dispatchers put Amtrak on Track 2 behind the huge NS manifest train. Then the EB was able to clear. Something had happened in Bedford requiring the train to stop releasing the crew. The WB freight took the Main. Shortly Amtrak was cleared but at restricted speed following the freight. Hopefully, he would be permitted to pass before reaching Roanoke.

    Usually a broken knuckle or the freight went into emergency. If you pass a train on adjacent main that went into emergency or that has separated, you must pass at restricted speed.

    There's that big of a crowd embarking and disembarking from a 3-day a week train with a slow and delay prone schedule, awkward scheduling at major cities en route, using 40+ year old Amfleet II coaches. What that tells me is that the demand is there for Amtrak just about everywhere in the country despite many areas having very marginal service. The new engine does look sharp though, unreal quiet too. Cool footage, I like seeing all the various activity that goes along with the stop instead of just the arrival and departure.
