Railfanning Former Pan Am Railways District 2 in January 2023

It was the new year, and I had high hopes for railfanning. I had also gotten a new job, however, and since my shift had a regular schedule of Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, it severely limited my ability to go weekday railfanning. The weekends were still fair game, and I'd say that with this new schedule, I was able to plan my trips better. I wouldn't be catching DO-1 very often anymore though.
CSX implemented a symbol change for all of its locals at the beginning of the year, DO-1 and DO-2's new symbols became L063 and L064, respectively. L064 would eventually be abolished. DOBO and BODO (The NHN Gravel Train) collectively became L065, and EDPO and POED were designated L074 and L075 respectively as well.
That month, lots of cool things went through Rockingham County. There was a continuous welded rail train on M426 at the beginning of the month which met an empty CWR train on M427 at Rockingham Junction. There were also lots of Dash 8-40CW locomotives on CSX's trains. On a day where I was released from work early, I managed to catch an L064 (DO-1) that was over 30 cars long. I caught my first L074, formerly known as EDPO. I also met many cool railfans on my travels, such as @downeasterailfan, @notch8c40, @LeoDaBeast and @newenglandtrainchasers. Shoutout to y'all (check their channels out, they catch trains too).
Little did I know that it would all come crashing to an end very soon.
Some of the footage can be seen in previous videos uploaded about when the footage was taken. (All 30fps because I didn't know how my phone worked, how silly).
