I am from Petersburg and I use to love seeing the trains come through especially Norfolk Southern. I miss it sometimes but not enough to wanna move back
@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails Question: what is the Poe yard used for? I mean I know it's a autorack yard, but what automobile assembly plant is nearby that uses Poe?
@leonation89 correct it is an auto rack yard, but instead of serving an automotive assembler, it is actually a delivery point for new vehicles from manufacturers
The photo at 16:19 looks west and the track curving off to the right is the ACL heading towards Richmond. This is how the N&W ran passenger trains between Richmond and Norfolk.
Yep that is correct! There are a few pictures of Norfolk and Western j class and k class passenger engines sitting at the platform of Broad Street Union Station and that is the line they would have taken to get there
