- Welcome aboard Amtrak Northeast Regional Train #94 the weekday train from Norfolk, VA to Boston South Station. Today we will only be traveling along the section of track between Norfolk and Washington, D.C. Our train today is led by a GE "Genesis" P42DC locomotive. Our stops along our journey will be Petersburg, Richmond-Staples Mill, Ashland, Fredericksburg, Quantico, and Alexandria all of which are in Virginia.
Unlike most Amtrak Northeast Regional services, all Amtrak trains (including Regionals) that continue south of Washington use diesel locomotives, since the overhead catenary ends at Washington Union Station. Amtrak service to Norfolk, VA is a fairly recent addition to its vast route network, with modern Northeast Regional service being added in December 2012. As of November 2021, there are various Northeast Regional trains that originate in Norfolk that terminate in either New York, Boston, or Springfield and vice-versa. All of Amtrak's Northeast Regional services to/from Virginia are unique in the sense that they operate solely over trackage owned by CSX and NS, two of the largest freight railroads in the U.S. Midwest and East Coast. Specifically in this video, most of the route between Washington and Norfolk is owned by CSX, which owns all of the trackage until just South of Petersburg. The CSX lines that Amtrak utilizes from Washington to Petersburg are the RF&P Subdivision (DC-Richmond) and the North End Subdivision (Richmond-Petersburg). Just south of Petersburg, where most Amtrak trains heading to the South continue towards North Carolina, is where Northeast Regional Trains to/from Norfolk either leave or join the CSX North End Subdivision to join or leave the Norfolk District, a railroad line owned by NS that carries both Amtrak and NS traffic into Norfolk.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the journey! :)

Taking that same route, currently in Alexandra stop right now. Amtrak is always a relaxing ride.
Question trying to go for dc to Virginia beach there is one transfer you get off and than take a bus the rest of the way?
Hey ! Great video ; up and down the Northeast Corridor. From Boston to Norfolk, VA
Whenever I ride Amtrak from Richmond to DC, I always get the 94 to DC and the 80 Carolinian back to Richmond
Oh you did do the opposite side where the Petersburg Automobile Distribution is. Awesome video
I have taken this trip many times also from Newport News to Washington ,though going through Richmond is very slow!!!!
Excellent bit of footage! I haven't taken the ride from Norfolk just yet, but plan on it. Always nice to see some familiar landscapes via train.
Awesome video I love trains
Just found your channel!
Definitely subscribing since it’s Amtrak. Rock on!
That was GREAT!!!!!
Cool ride!
Nice video! By the way you actually passed my neighborhood at 45:28 while you were on that train, just thought you'd like to know that
Trains are the best way to see this country. was the cafe car open, or was it restricted?
Man you’re all over the place lol
Can’t pass on good deals during COVID-19 season!
I'm gonna be riding this next year.

How about a round trip from Washington to Roanoke?
Already done, I'm in the process of editing it!
Well done! 👏🏻
Has the project been shelved by any chance?
I live in Newport News. I plan to go up to Ny. Is it better to depart from norfolk, Newport News or Williamsburg Amtrak station? What if I want better seat selections??
There is a straight shot from Newport News to NYC
man i wish i could take trains like you can you do the atlantic city line next?
Hopefully during the summer I can. I’ve wanted to do it for a while but the timetable is really weird, making it hard to do a round trip.
@@captainace6083 oh hmmm
I plan to take this trip next year. Do you recommend the left side over the right side for great views?
If you're doing this trip both ways then I'd personally sit on the left side both ways, as you'll not only see all the scenery on both sides of the route but also any passing trains as well.
@@captainace6083 Thank you!

Great rail video, enjoyed it very much. Did you win what sounded like a losing battle with the snack bag at about 3:25?
Is Quantico closed off to civillians?

Why don't Amtraks honk their horns at private railroad crossings on the NS Norfolk District?
