Used to sit there with my grandfather in the '50s and early '60s. Just a grand place. Grew up in Clifton and Mt. Vernon area. VRE? Used to be Southern, RF and P, B and O, C and O, as well as Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line. Grandfather could tell the different lines by their horns. ov10bronco1

Great footage - brought back good memories. That station is an excellent place to sit and watch trains go though, especially all the CSX freights.

[davinp]

What's that noise, the wheels are making? Is this the engineers view in the cab car?

[amtk019]

Not in the cab -- it's taken from the doorway at the end of the car.
