nice. I'm from Alexandria and glad to see our fair city has made it on youtube.

V05 is a RP39-2C. I caught V04 today trailing NS 10N, snow shot. If I get more snow shots I'll compile them and make a video, the VRE unit was pretty cool.

Nice catch Bryan. That is CSX Q703 hauling loaded trash from Oak Point New York to Collier Virgina.

I just got interesting in Virginia Rail Express today after I saw RP39-2C V04 trailing on a Norfolk Southern train. The paint scheme is AWESOME and the roster is full of cool locomotives. This video also has some irony; Alexandria is such an upkept high-class town, yet a garbage train passes right through it, LOL! I have to fan this spot, how many CSX trains a day? Any other railroads besides CSX and VRE? Cool video!

nice to see the crew gave you a quick 2 blows on the great sounding K5LA! bet that rain smelled pretty bad! nice catch with the Virgina Railway Express just coming out of nowhere to enter the shot! now that is something very interesting to see a F40 and Gp38 leading a train nice K5LA anyways!

Trash trains are my favorite! I didn't know we had trains to carry the garbage here in VA, I thought it was all tractor-trailers that carry the waste to landfills.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

V05 is a RP39-2C.

@techphy100 more eco friendly and cost effective 1 train can take what 8-10 trucks could. plus it gives WM the chance to say "we are more eco friendly becouse we ship our waste via train"

[@Hail2Pitt412]

wow lucky catch?

[@lahluv]
