Eastern Railroad Discussion > A warm and sunny train day in Ashland, VADate: 10/29/14 10:54 A warm and sunny train day in Ashland, VA Author: RNinRVR With the weather forecast set for mostly sunny and mid 80's I headed up to Ashland for the day and here are a few highlights.
1. Sunrise is 35 minutes away as Q416 comes north. 2. Q034 27 comes by the "downtown district" of Ashland with ES44AH 593 leading 3. CSX local job D779 28 comes by the Ashland station with a SD60M trailing. Sharon Evans Glen Allen, VA Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/29/14 13:19 by RNinRVR.

5 The third unit on Q401 was this B20-8. I listened to the video several times and cannot be sure if it was online or not. Here is Q400 with Es40DC 5445 leading.

Later there was a report of them out west of DC.
8. The full trash train from New York, Q703 26, comes south with 2 ES44AH's 3147 and 3049. 9. The north bound empty trash, Q702 28, had this OFOX SD40M-2 2788 which began life as SCL SD45 2011 and has been through multiple owners since.

11. Q031 28 comes south with ES44AH 908 leading and a friendly wave from the engineer. Sharon Evans Glen Allen, VA Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/29/14 11:04 by RNinRVR.
