TRAIN RACE + FOUR Friendly Crews

TRAIN RACE + FOUR Friendly Crews @ South Manassas, Virginia
Here we see tow trains race each other.... Norfolk Southern NS 228 heading south on the Washington District.... VRE 33 rushes passengers home not far behind, chasing the Norfolk Southern train down. Afterwards, an awaiting Northbound, NS 214, gets track clearance to to proceed. We also see another VRE commuter train, 35, as well as Amtrak train 19!!

I caught a train race that had Amtrak Auto Train VS a CSX Auto Rack when I was at Folkston last May and the Auto Train had a decent lead. You should check it out, Rowan. Awesome action as always, brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ConductorRicketts]

The PRLX 665 is my most seen AC6000. pretty cool

[@JetsMakeWoosh]

Love that spot though I usually sit in the VRE parking lot so you can see planes and trains but you definitely aren’t as close to the tracks might I recommend the old bust head road crossing for shots lots of woodland scenery and any trains going westbound are usually at full throttle through that part it’s quite spectacular it’s just west of Haymarket after the thoroughfare gap

[@TimWhiteRailProductions]

Nice Job Man
