Eastern Railroad Discussion > Black Friday not shoppingDate: 11/27/15 19:13 Black Friday not shopping Author: RNinRVR I decided to spend Black Friday in Ashland, VA shooting trains on the CSX RF&P sub instead of fighting the crowds in stores.
CSX runs a local from Richmond's Acca yard to Fredericksburg. Here is today's D794 27 as it heads north with GP40-2 6152 leading it through Ashland. As the D794 was headed by me on main 3, CSX manifest Q401 26 came south on main 2 with ES40DC 5413 leading 10,277 feet of train. One of the locomotives assisting in getting this monster train over the road was SD50-2 2484.

The next freight was Q416 27 which came north at 4:15 pm with ES40DC 5260 and 9244 feet of train. The second locomotive on the Q416 was Helm Leasing SD40-2 7201. Sharon Evans Glen Allen, VA Date: 11/27/15 21:00 Re: Black Friday not shopping Author: bradleymckay RNinRVR Wrote:

Or fighting WITH crowds in stores! Good choice! Allen Date: 11/28/15 02:01 Re: Black Friday not shopping Author: SD70M Black Friday over here in the UK was a bit of a damp squib. After last years stampedes and fighting, this year it was a much more low key event, and more of the action took place online. I was too busy selling stuff in workplaces to worry about Black Friday myself.
