You have caught some great train footage. I will be saving this video for reference. I am modeling the RF&P sub from Fredericksburg to Acca Yard. Ashland is a signature scene. The mix freight you caught is a great train to model.

Rock train at the end was probably B465 but that's just a guess. You got lucky with a busy spell there. I was just on that line on Saturday and it took me all day to get 5....just can't seem to hit the busy days. Oh well. Great shots!

Yep, I live near this railroad. Sucks that we can’t get any ES40DC’s around here. But very interesting to hear a P3 again…
@Bad_Baddog055 ай бұрын
We had a 2 ES40DC locomotives that came in At 2022. NS 7510 & NS 7538 (7538 had a geometry System installed) they were on V24 as seen in some of my videos. Unfortunately there is A no WIDE CAB policy by the line to West Point due to some of the curves at Richmond. They are not supposed to send in any Wide cabs of any kind unless desperately needed. Currently NS 7576 is at Richmond as of yesterday as well as NS 3496 OLS Unit. Video for that coming this week.

But also further more update if your getting 3214, recently just now I heard the unit come past here again. It seems like the P3 has become unexpectedly fouled since…
