Eastern Railroad Discussion > A sunny Saturday in Richmond.....

Saturday was beautiful here in Richmond and I took advantage of several locations which never proved very successful in the past. CSX cooperated with plenty of action when the timing was right. Enjoy!

"when the timing was right"? Here in the Washington DC area, CSX follows a time-honored tradition dating back to the days of the B&O. CSX trains come in groups. A line can be either very active or very quiet. Is the same true of Richmond?

Not exactly. Sometimes it seems like everything hits at once. Typically it's a steady flow of traffic between all of the lines around here. Never a dull moment.

Everything just came together for most shots. The sunlight was good, and the trains were heading in the right direction. Downtown can be VERY difficult on a sunny day.

I am a firm believer that trains come in groups. Through my research trains are reclusive by nature, and therefore travel in packs for safety :-)
