- A most coveted RFW ride along the right of way of one of my favorite Fallen Flag railroads, the RF&P. A gorgeous morning ride up the Potomac River region on a nice crisp cold Autumn morning. Enjoy!!! Crew was very much into pumpkins. Look hard for the bald eagle as we get closer to Quantico. VRE is a friendly/efficient/classy operation.
Happy anniversary real Horn Guy and many more
Best view of his videos yet. And, a sparkling clear window!
Good video. Nice having RFW view. Thanks Tim😀😀💚
Happy anniversary man! Would love to go railfanning with you sometime since I live in NJ 😁
Happy anniversary
Good video. I was wondering how they were going to platform in L’efant Plaza.
Great video. Select amtrak trains make stops @ L'enfant
Great front window ride. Scary tunnel. Thanks!!!!!
NS uses the old Van Dorn yard for ethanol transloading (rail to truck). It used to come in unit trains (symbol was 64A/6A4), but now the cars move on locals.
Trains in VA are greatly improved Tim.
Near Aquia Creek crossing is Aquia Harbor housing community. A private community much like Sea Gate in Brooklyn with it's own police force.
thank you for fun cool video. i know alex va well born there and moved to fairfax va when i was 12, in 1971. my grand dad was a engineer on southern rwy. he use to take freights out of pot yard to monroe va, sometimes he would run passenger trains from alex va to monroe va. southern changed crews in alexandria. southern had what they called cut off. a crew would take train from alex to wasington union station. then take engines to ivy city. my grandad did cut off too. he started on southern in 1925. as a fireman. in 1950 promoted to loco. engineer. gave southern 47 years.
The Dahlgren branch ironically does not go to Dahlgren anymore. It only reaches as far as Sealston in King George County. it still serves a power plant, waste dump, and possibly some other industries, but the first 2 I know for sure. I do like how it’s still called Dahlgren Junction however.
Really hoping they electrify most if not all of the vre trackage since the state is buying most of the trackage
Another nice cab ride
Spending Sunday afternoon looking at a lot of your videos on this one you mentioned the Tropicana juice train I see that on a daily basis only it is on the Florida East Coast railway from Jacksonville to Miami usually in the midday train number 103 there is a live camera on virtual railfan it is the Cocoa Beach North camera pretty soon will be seeing a lot of bright line on there. I am in Orlando lady friend is from suburbs of Philly enjoy your videos very much.
Cool
I'm sure I have been on that route on my way to Tampa and back to Philadelphia.
Seems like inordinately long station stops.
Amtrak is thinking about putting the sleeper back on the "Night Owl" but who knows if it'll ever really happen.
