Railfanning ALX 4/10/09 Part 2

Second round of videos from my day long visit to ALX.

Trains:

1. Amtrak Silver Star 92, with P42DCs #45 and #13 (makes a double stop).
2. Amtrak Northeast Regional 94, lead by P42DC #83 (look for this unit to return in part 3).
3. CSX L173, southbound intermodal, with SD70AC #4734 and CW40-8 #7366.
4. VRE 301, double headed by RP39-2C #V07 and (ex-Amtrak #311) F40PH #V35.
5. NS Z854 again (see it heading north in part 1), heading south this time, behind GP38-2s #5031 (high hood) and #5570.
6. VRE 325, bound for Manassas, with RP39-2C #V04 on the front, and (ex-Amtrak #365) F40PH-2 #V33 on the rear.
7. The most common train in ALX, that you always hear but rarely see much of in my videos, Metrorail. This was a Blue Line train, bound for Franconia-Springfield.
