VRE Fredericksburg Line Train P314-28 Cab Ride from Spotsylvania to Alexandria.
I decided that I would record my trip from Spotsylvania to Alexandria. Sorry for the unstable camera at times. I had to hold it the entire time. Along the way you will see CSX M415-27, Amtrak P067-28 and P151-28 Anyway, enjoy the video, fall foliage, and sunrise.

Amtrak 176 with NS C44-9W leading
มุมมอง 1403 ปีที่แล้ว
In Roanoke, Amtrak train 176 lead engine broke down and maintenance crews couldn’t get it repaired. So they decided to take a Dash 9 from the Roanoke yard. I got word that it was a deadhead. What makes this catch extra special is that the NS was pulling amfleets with no P42 in sight. Nowadays it’s mega rare for NS to come through Alexandria.

4 cars and a doubleheader???
@the_beltway_railfan4956 I love this video!
@1:02:06 enters past the Auto Train Terminal
Great video! I love this one! VRE is the best train ever!!
at 5:30, I railfan at that old switch there at the afternoon.
He or she needs to get the camera ready before the train starts .As it is they are unprepared.Not good
Very nice
It's really cool to see the planning for the separated corridors coming into play at Quantico. It will definitely be good for passenger service on this stretch. Does give me concern with whether they'll be low level or high level platforms there. I feel that VRE in the future will be forced to acquire coaches with high-level compatibility or remake the gallery car doors.
Don’t make any more videos😅😂
Skill issue
Great video! What was this recorded on?
You're fiddling with the camera too much. There's a reflection of some sort due to the position of the sun.
I am aware of this. My plan was to use a suction cup and attach it to the window, but it wouldn't work so I had to hold it the entire time. The reflection is from the sun.
Pretty bad camera work. Otherwise OK.
yeah ik. I was trying to get it to stick on the window but it wouldn't.
Nice, hope you do more rides on the VRE
First time this run was done on TH-cam. I wish I could do this run myself. Who knows??? I’m surprised you didn’t go all the way to DC. Ridership seems low which is surprising knowing how congested I95 is. I guess they are still recovering from pandemic. I noticed extra capacity being put in which should hopefully create off peak service to really help ridership grow
I was planning to go to DC. But I've done that before (not on youtube). If the metro was running, I would have taken it to DC, but my home is Alexandria, so it was just easier for me. But yeah, they are still recovering from the pandemic, and off-peak service should become a thing in the future.
@@the_beltway_railfan4956 it needs to after they get those upgrades in
Are they triple tracking the whole line?

Thanks
New Subscriber!
Nice video!
Thanks man
Southern terminus at DC or will the power switch to diesel to head further south?
This train is heading north to New York but if it was heading south, it would go into Virginia. Not all of the Northeast Regional trains that go to dc head south
Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification.
Two engines on the tail end. It’s not a double header, maybe a double ender? I don’t know. All I know is that you don’t see that too often.
You could call it that.
Looks like I invented some new railroad lingo. Anyway, good video. I got to travel up to the NEC someday.
Cool catch!
Thanks man
Wow! Nice!
Thanks
I subbed
Thanks man
Nice catch - what time did this train pass?
It came around 2:40 or 3
