I was aware that E. V. williams was doing the grade work. They told me that they were not going to do the track work. Queen City put in the switch on the...

I am wondering just where Old Mill Creek is? I only know of two locations in Southeast VA where CSX and NS come near each other and I cannot find an Old Mill...

I have added 6 photos taken of the CSX to Commonwealth Connection taken Saturday. A significant amount of progress has taken place. Also a contractor came by...
Thank you for the photos. Living several hours away, it has been confusing to pinpoint where the CSX connection was being installed. I thought at one time...

Was at the "grocery track" in Suffolk last evening to catch the usual 5 or so trains that pass by. Set off on the "Grocery Track" was the power for the rock...
I hate to see the older power getting swapped out. I'll never forget the evening of July 6, 2005 when I chased V13 from Courtland to Emporia with 6080, 1624,...
