During Redskins home games, the RF&P ran this passenger train for their executives from Richmond. Riding this classy train certainly beat a trip on I-95!
One of eight SW1500s on the roster, #7 rests next to the PY yard office.
The cut of hoppers in the background are in NS's compact Duke Street yard, a facility which was closed in the 90's and promptly redeveloped.
Traditionally, odd numbered engines faced south, and evens north on the RF&P. 133, leading southbound R409 was likely turned following a trip away from home rails.
Two RF&P units bracket a pair of Conrail SDs on this southbound freight at Alexandria.
Sitting on some very valuable land, 125 is parked near an abandoned yard tower at Pot Yard. This area has been completely redeveloped and is now home to a large shopping center.
A southbound train with engines in SCL, Chessie, B&O, and CSX paint schemes lays over at Pot Yard.
A southbound pig train hustles through Alexandria, while a Metro train makes a station stop at King Street.
On the day after Christmas, a pair of RF&P geeps share the engine terminal with a CSX GP40-2.
Amtrak's southbound Southern Crescent streaks past the 3212 at NS's compact Van Dorn Street terminal.
Passengers awaiting an Amtrak train look on as a southbound RF&P freight rolls by.
203 gets ready to depart for Atlanta, while a set of CP power looks on. This intermodal facility is no longer active, having been shut down by NS.
This scene is almost completely unrecognizable today. The mainline has been relocated and much of the old yard has been redeveloped.
Headed for Union Station in DC
