💞Wow🧡🧡🧡🧡💛🧡💛💛
The longest amtrak train ever
Will it ever end? This is what it's like going through Ashland at the reduced speed limit in town. It takes FOREVER! 😂
This Mill RD?
Mill Road it is by the Hunton Ball fields...
@@THEMIX137CHANNEL-xe5ep oh duh why did I forget that!
What time did this come
Around 6PM
Lovely engine. Great job with this video. Joe 😊
Ashland's street running dates back to the 1850s, when the RF&P first built north to the mouth of Accotink Creek, on the Potomac River. What was then basically the west side of town, has, over the years, become the heart of town, with the railroad in the middle of the street. Over the years, the RF&P, and later, CSX, have floated the idea of building a bypass. The problem is 2 fold. Where to put it, since Ashland had developed it's own kind of urban sprawl in the last 70 years or so. And the NIMBY factor. When they find a reasonably practical route for a bypass, the neighbors along the proposed right of way, scream bloody murder about the noise pollution and danger of grade crossings, ad infinitem. So the railroad is stuck with 69 mph, or higher speed limits on both sides of town, and a 25 mph speed limit going through town. Fun, yes? 😂
^ You seem to really know your stuff. I was just about to ask if there is a speed ordinance in Ashland cause trains go by so slow here but you've answered it. It's a straight track, so they should be going much much faster but the tracks are not cut off from where someone could just run right onto them. Why don't they just sequester off the tracks so trains can go faster?
@@rominn2184would be very difficult to go around any of the town as a randolph macon college is there and lots of homes and small businesses on both sides of the tracks for the whole trip thru town...
@@rominn2184interesting information of the history of how the small town has the tracks running thru the middle of it. Now it seems it is a feature of the town as well as for the randolph macon college next to the tracks and the small business store fronts along it, like having a unique attraction of the town.
What type of train is that?
^ If this is the evening, it could be the northbound train number 90, the Palmetto which is going to NYC from Savannah, Georgia. Or it could be a Regional. A lot of the Regionals that come up from Virginia have baggage cars.
@@rominn2184 this train was recorded in the evening
@@rominn2184 Amtrak passenger train
its actually a siemens ALC-42 charger
,great footage
Wonderful capture. Love it. Greetings Joe 😊
I Subscribed. Fantastic train video. Good work. Greetings Joe 😊
Why so slow? Doesn’t it usually go through at like 80mph?
I'm pretty sure bc it's not Acela
@@williamjones5514 Mmmmm..no. Hard no. The Acela doesn’t even run here. This is diesel territory, not electric. As you can see. Usually trains pass through here at 80mph. There must’ve been a signaling issue or something. Or freight traffic up ahead.
@@rominn2184 ik ik did you know there is an electric train that passes by sometimes Known as the Siemens Charger
Doesn't go by to fast as restaurants by the track have dinner tables about 10' from the track and trains going 35-45 feel like they are going to fast even then...
Do any special events happen on thid train.
Nice catch
Love your video, keep making more Amtrak videos
