NS 274 Crossing the Shenandoah
Author: B-LineRailfan

I bought a used kayak yesterday morning and caught Norfolk Southern train 274 in the afternoon crossing the Shenandoah River just north of Riverton Junction in Front Royal, Virginia.  Unfortunately I stopped filming early because it turned out there was a lot of MoW equipment tacked on to the rear.

Thanks! My youngest daughter and her friend were on board. She doesn’t have quite the same interest in trains that I do but does enjoy watching them every once in awhile :-)

Thanks for the great video. The bridge may be what is known as a quadrangular or subdivided Warren Truss Bridge.

Was the fist pump to get the engineer to blow the horn? When I was a kid we would do that with truckers and they obliged us.

We didn't call it a fist pump but were simulating a cord the trucker (or railroader) would pull down to blow the horn.
