{4K} VRE Full Cabride Spotsylvania, VA-Washington, DC (VRE Fredericksburg Line) (8/4/2023) 

I did a video like this last November, from Fredericksburg to DC. The engineer talked fast on the radio, so it was hard to make out what he was saying, but at least yours was talking at a normal speed where you can hear every word. If I were to do this video again, it would be very similar to yours with graphics.

I will never understand why CSX requires that an Engineer recite his entire life's story over the radio for every signal. Oh, and if that isn't bad enough, anything and EVERYTHING unforeseen, you have to copy an EC-1. Like okay, let me stop my train, pull out my pen, and spend 5 minutes copying a dissertation from the dispatcher because a MOW foreman pulled his flags 12 seconds before his work zone was scheduled to end. Great work on the video.

Thank you for showing Quantico I was born there and was there until the age of 8 and moved up to mass

What a fantastic VRE video, even with the rain. Feels almost like being in the engineer's seat.

Love this video

It’s just awesome

Did electrification extend south of the tunnel at one time? How far south was the line electrified?

1:33:50

Stops with only a platform for one way and a small crossing for the other way... Take passengers serious, please!

1:22:00 Crystal City Station: A great place to get mugged. One way in, one way out. 1:26:00 Serious tree work needed 1:30:00 What is this? A nature preserve? My conclusion: Don't waste your time (or life) riding VRE

Medium Approach Medium? What is the speed?
