Manassas, VA - NS/Amtrak Aerials
Author: cinder

Yesterday (Sunday) was perfect for aerial photography so I shot 370 pictures of 21 sites in 2.5 hours.  While over Manassas, VA, I captured these two images of the small NS yard.

1.  Southbound Amtrak Regional #147 leaves Manassas on time at 4:58 pm.
2.  A closer look at the NS yard sees that all is quiet on a late Sunday afternoon.  But note the many gons of railroad ties.....a sure sign of major track work. in the area.

Yes....This is the general location and the yard is where the train will overnight on the 6th.  However, the passenger depot is a half mile to the north.  That is where the boarding will take place.
