Cardinal Route From the Window of a Train
Author: bandob

I'm not sure I have these in exact order, but here are some WV and VA view from the window of the Eastbound Cardinal.

Last pic has to be east of Staunton & west of Charlottesville.  Lovely country.

I believe that is still west of Staunton. I live in Waynesboro and it doesn't look like that. Once it gets over the Mountain at Afton looks different as well.

You were able to see out the back window? No baggage car?

Indeed, with Buffalo Gap in the distance. Swoope, rhymes with "rope."

The New River is nice, but for my money, the run from Orange to Clifton Forge is tops on the Cardinal route for scenery (and in daylight both directions year round). Being a UVa grad, I might be just a little biased though... :)

Great photos, my personal favorite train ride in the east.

What year was this? It no longer runs with a Heritage 1700-class baggage.

So  how do  you get the  windows  so  clean?   Are  you  opening  a  door!!

Not opening a door. Just clean windows.
