  • Hello!
    In this video I visit and explore Quantico Station and the Town of Quantico, both of which are completely surrounded by a marine corps base.
    Disclaimer: No, it's not on your end. This was my first video using the Rode Wireless ME microphone and I only realized later that the audio contains a buzzing noise, especially when I raise my voice. My guess is that my sweater was blocking the signal. Sorry! I hope it is not TOO distracting. This should be fixed in future videos.

    Trains on the RF&P subdivision run on any track in either direction, it is up to the dispatcher. Certain VRE stations have only one side platform, so during VRE hours, that track will generally have all traffic going in one direction. It flips in the evening. Amtrak has more variation.

    Always email your organizations and individuals to get the best answers/resolutions possible! That ending remark made me genuinely happy, great contrast to the awful drainage system I thought this video was going to bittersweetly end on.

    Does it appear that anyone coming or going to the Marine base/FBI academy actually use the train station? Otherwise, that seems like a very large station with massive amounts of service for such a small town.

    11:18 amo esse som.
    provavelmente tem essa quantidade relativamente grande de trens atendendo a estação devido a base militar, que com certeza possui muito mais que 500 habitantes e/ou funcionários.

      Com certeza. E também porque a estação já fica numa linha principal

    Thank You Very Much, Very Interesting. I Was Glad That You Mention Columbus, I Spent 50 Plus Years In Columbus, A Great City Where Everyone Is Welcomed. One's Again There Is Talk That Amtrak Could Come Back. I Think That Last Train That Pulled Out Of The Station Was In The 70s?? This Time It's Getting Some Support From Some Republicans That Control The Leader Ship, But We Are Hoping, Just Like Some Other Republicans States?? The Very Big Question Is, What Happens If Biden Is Out????

      Why do you capitalize every word? I’m not criticizing, I’m just really curious.

      @@Rezaal When I used to capitalize all my words, I just did so because of this special feeling that made me want to be 'perfect' in writing. I gave up because I wanted to be punctually perfect aswell, lol.
