Eastern Railroad Discussion > VRE Crossroads (Fredericksburg, VA) AerialsDate: 07/24/16 08:04 VRE Crossroads (Fredericksburg, VA) Aerials Author: cinder These three aerials were taken Saturday morning at the Virginia Railway Express terminus on the CSX (ex RF&P) three miles south of Fredericksburg. The trainyard is full and the commuter parking lot is empty.
1. Hardly room for another car in the yard at 11 am on Saturday morning. 2. A southbound Amtrak train speeds past the Crossroads (Spotsylvania) parking lot. 3. The lead to VRE's yard is on the left. The new third main is not yet tied into the double track. Date: 07/24/16 08:40 Re: VRE Crossroads (Fredericksburg, VA) Aerials Author: boejoe Thanks. I see only one platform so I guess that departing and arriving trains use the same track.
