You picked a great place for your first video, Alexandria is one of our favorite spots! For reference, the SB CSX you saw was M409, and the northbound was M416

Thanks for the tips! I am attempting to learn more CSX train numbers, but it will take time.

3rd Class slow Trains, also America 3rd World Railway System. Trains look old and dirty....

That's what happens when freight owns 90% of the country

Good memories of tailgating with the old man here decades ago. Why, why , WHY did you have your camera at bellybutton level and so near the tracks? Only good shots are when you catch a few trains on the second track from you. Also, go under the bridge. It’s loud and awesome when they roll under there!!!

I will take notes for my next trip. Thank you!
