This morning I turned on the Norfolk Southern B-line audio feed and heard NS 954 call a clear signal heading west at the B41.4 signal. Living about 8 minutes from the tracks, I knew I wouldn’t make it in time at the nearest crossing so I headed north to White Post, Virginia on the ex-N&W H-line. I have wanted to get a picture of a northbound train at White Post for a long time and I finally got my chance, just barely. Not used to chasing trains north, I figured I’d have plenty of time to set up my video camera. However, as soon as I parked my car the train was already coming so I only had time to grab a few snapshots. Here’s my favorite one below.
