Eastern Railroad Discussion > Aerial views of Manassas MeetDate: 03/26/17 17:59 Aerial views of Manassas Meet Author: cinder While on my monthly aerial photo flight, I managed a chance meeting of east/southbound NS 35Q and west/northbound NS 290 just south of the wye at Manassas, VA.
1. Backlit view of the meet. NS 290 is one the right waiting for 35Q to clear the single-track B-Line. 2. 35Q entering the former Southern mainline with the small freight yard in the upper left. 3. A sunny-side view of 290 diverging onto the B-Line. I knew it was 290 because of the long cut of auto racks on the head end.

Is that 22" snap track? Can you carry and use a RR scanner in the cockpit?
OK Fans Cast your votes. Do you prefer manned aircraft or drone foam? Date: 03/26/17 18:55 Re: Aerial views of Manassas Meet Author: holiwood If you think that wye is tight, you should have seen the old one

No....no scanner in the cockpit. Ironically,I had seen 35Q on the once-free Shenandoah Jct. webcam around 9 am.
