Driving to Petersburg, VA

Note: This video was recorded hands free and did not distract me from driving. Remember two years ago when I recorded one of my drives down to Petersburg? Well here I go again two years later. Only this time, I do the complete tour starting at my house, taking other roads toward Chippenham Parkway, then Chippenham Parkway toward I-95, then I-85 to Squirrel Level Road, and finally the backroad leading me to Collier Yard. I gotta say, I quite enjoy the drive between Richmond and Petersburg for some reason. I guess because it brings back memories and because it's that one part of I-95 where traffic isn't crazy. It's not bad south of Richmond, but it gets busy north of Richmond. Enjoy the video!

Your welcome

[@awesomeamericantrainsandte1013]

how long does it take to go from your house to Petersburg typically?

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Slightly less than an hour. I didn't get that from the duration of this video. I've been to Petersburg many times since 2015, so I know.

[@awesomeamericantrainsandte1013]

oh okay cool

[@TrainFan119]

Ok

[@philippians3142]

You must be from (West End)Henrico, VA!

[@TheNWClassA1218]

That's right.

[@philippians3142]

I am born and raised in Chesterfield, VA all my life and right now I live in the Woodpecker Rd area of Chesterfield. I also work in the West End of Henrico and I know what you mean up in the north it is very busy and I the south it is laid back.

[@TheNWClassA1218]

That's cool.

[@slendermanRblx]

Have i got the spot of CSX john in ROHV?

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Sorry, but Virginia Railfan Productions did a little bit better.

[@slendermanRblx]

[@TheNWClassA1218]

@@TheNWClassA1218 That was a typo right? You meant 19 turning 20, because you said on your Birthday in Y2K17, you were turning 19 as your birthday was September of 1998.
