I was on board the 195 regional and got to see it live. 195 was a good 15 minutes late leaving ALX, so the star would have been right behind. We eventually overtook the star again just south of ASD. It must have held up for a few minutes to allow the regional to offload in RVR before coming in itself a few minutes later.

The stopped train is the Northeast Regional train. Think of it as a local commuter train and has no checked baggage. The one coming up alongside of it is a Florida train hence the baggage car and sleepers on the rear. Overnight train. The 3rd type of train through this area has checked baggage (baggage car) but no sleepers since it travels a shorter route to north Carolina. There are people with much more knowledge on the east coast trains since I'm in Chicago.

I don't understand the rationale of having a signal that stops train right after a road crossing (So taht a train stopping there blocks the crossroad) rather than right before it. It's also weird to see two parallel one direction tracks with no returning one (unless they are both two ways, which makes it even weirder).

The first train was making a station stop,. It is a corridor train to Norfolk or Newport News. The second was a long distance train to Miami. Both tracks signaled in both directions with crossovers so trains going the same direction can pass.
