This is the absolutely first time I’m out railfanning outside the Northeast Corridor. The town of Ashland, Virginia is a phenomenal train watch area for people who sit on porches or in cars watching Amtrak & freight trains go by. As for me i did alot of walking around getting to know the place while it was brutally hot on both days. But i enjoyed seeing the trains on street level as vehicles. Enjoy the video

Thanks for all your videos. I watch all of them but don’t comment because I watch on my TV and can’t comment. This time I watched on my computer so I took the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate you. I am bed bound and medically retired. I have spent 9 years in a 12 x 14 bedroom. This is why you and your videos are precious to me. I was a wanderer when I went on vacations. No destination, just a tank of gas and a week off work to explore our great country. I have driven or taken Amtrak to every state in the lower 48 but Maine. Now I see the world outside my room via people like you. You are important to me and probably a lot of others in similar situations. The next time you stand on a train platform or when you video that new Acela on its first revenue run, I am there with you because you are my eyes and ears. I hope you will know that I am quietly thanking you for the journey. 🙏💜 Bless you during your travels. May you always be safe wherever you go! ❤🚂

@@jayydarailfaner549 Hi Jayy...From what I read online, it has something to do with "criminal activity" and for that reason the Ashland cam is members only at this time. In other words, you have to be a member of Virtual Railfan to access the site. When this issue has been resolved, hopefully, it will be open to everyone again.
