Nicely done. But I do have one thing to point out. The Norfolk District does not see any regular run through manifest freights. Closest they get to even Petersburg is Crewe which would be the originating 189 and the terminating 188. The V17 that you saw is most likely a yard transfer if it was indeed going to Crewe. I originally grew up about 10-15 minutes from Portlock Yard, and the Shell Rd./Canal Dr. crossings were my top two spots growing up. Otherwise, very nicely done.
I was very curious about the locations you were at as you mentioned the city of Virginia Beach. The first couple of trains at Yadkin Rd are located in Chesapeake near George Washington Blvd. Another one that passed by Producers Peanut which is located in Suffolk at Moore Ave. Since it is in my backyard I wanted to find the exact locations.
Thanks. It is common for this local, it only makes a round trip totaling 50 miles so NS perhaps feels it doesn't need to run particularly fast or power heavy.

Terrific catches/meets/races!
You even pronounced my last name right too! People ALWAYS have trouble with it! Great shots, it was awesome meeting you that day!
Thanks man! Of course. I'd say I'm an Italian at heart, but living in Miami the vocals are just the same.

Hello
nice vid... but man, NS takes chances running a stack train with just one loco... is that common for NS?????
