    Recently moved to Virginia, your information at the start really helped me. I’m glad I now know where the trains run to, I live near Norfolk and I’m happy that I found out it stops there. Never stop posting stuff like this. ❤

    rode VRE for about a decade when working in downtown DC. soooo much nicer than taking the metro.

      I will be using it for the first time in the near future. So, thank you for giving me a positive expectation.
      I have used Metro in the distant past, so I was thinking it might be along the same level of quality and crowding.

    Thanks for making this video! I've basically grown up with the VRE. When I was younger, I rode into DC on the VRE with my mom a few times. We would always take the Fredricksburg Line from Woodbridge into Union Station. One time, we missed the train, so we hopped on a Northeast Regional that came a half hour later, which ended up being my first Amtrak ride. Good times!

    Nice video man! I happen to be a Railfan based in Northern Virginia not to mention that my neighborhood is situated right on the bank of the Potomac River as well as the CSX Rappahannock, Fredericksburg & Potomac (or RF&P as we refer to it as) subdivision. I have SEVERAL videos of VRE Fredericksburg Line trains passing through my neighborhood in addition to Amtrak so this was pretty cool to see
