    Seems like you and FFV Jr. had one awesome day Dave.

      Thanks, we did. One of those times when we happened into circumstances that bunched the trains up to our benefit.

    I went railfanning yesterday at the Selma Union Station and I caught 3 trains at once less than an hour
    1: Southbound Intermodal train with Tropicana at the head of the train
    2: Silver Star coming from the North, going East
    3: Southbound Auto Train
    All less than an hour, that was live action right there

    Is Ashland always this busy?

      It's close. I haven't been on a sunrise-to-sunset outing along the RF&P since the most recent train consolidations so it's hard to say for sure, but bear in mind that since this was shot, Q192/193 have been abolished and Q140/141 have been combined with Q031/032, for starters. You can also factor in an upswing in coal traffic, however temporary it might be. Having a scanner is indispensible for keeping track of lulls, and more importantly knowing when a lull is about to be broken.

      You're set then. :) I think on my absolute worst day of railfanning in Ashland that could not be attributed to bad weather, I still got 12 trains. You can always check out downtown Richmond or Collier Yard in Petersburg as a contingency if it seems like the day is really going south.
