CSX/Amtrak trains in Downtown Richmond VA 8-31-18

Spent a fairly short time on a Friday morning in downtown RVA, and was able to film a handful of trains across three different subdivisions.
In the video, a pair of CSX movements are shown on the Peninsula subdivision, two Amtrak regionals coast into RVA's main street station, and finally, Q415 prepares to head south on the CSX A-Line towards its destination in Rocky Mount.
Thanks for watching!

Great catches! I like the locations too! I wonder why Q415 was going in reverse.

CottonBeltSD40T he was working Acca and was going back to pick up the rest of his train before leaving.

The 1st train in the video looks like it was coming from Newport News Williamsburg way.

[@VCUrailfan15productions]

It is!

[@VCUrailfan15productions]

Although it never came from there, it was pulled into Fulton Yard for a recrew so it could head south towards Rocky Mount

@@VCUrailfan15productions that's weird why that yard and not Acca Yard?

[@VCUrailfan15productions]

Acca yard is more of a North/South yard, while Fulton handles East/West (less Traffic so it’s smaller). This grain train came eastbound, so it just pulled into Fulton. Acca is on the other side of the city from this yard so going there wouldn’t be necessary
