Amtrak Train 79 - Quantico to Fredericksburg Southbound Rear View

Rear view from the back of Amtrak Train 79 as it runs from the Quantico, VA Amtrak station to the Fredericksburg, VA Amtrak station on the former RF&P Main Line. This was taken with my GoPro affixed to the rear vestibule window.
Note work on the new third main track to relieve freight train congestion.

+Justin Worthington Thanks for adding to the milieu. BTW, how did you car not get stuck?

[@justinworthington4387]

+Mike Brotzman Lol i got stuck once but that was way up on the other side of possium point powerplant because a different crew didnt back fill very well and the trench sunk when i drove over it. I was up there for 5 months and only one time i feel thats pretty good. You may know the saying when in doubt throttle it out? That car has made it everywhere just because A i can drive very well, B i had to get shit done and wasnt walking at least a mile to get there with tools and equipment, C the power of a turbo diesel with the right driver and the sense of Well i think we can make it and then hope and pray. lol
