Two of CSX’s new-ish heritage units, the Baltimore & Ohio (#1827) and Western Maryland (#1852), lead the hotshot UPS Intermodal I031 past the Potomac Shores neighborhood in Dumfries, VA.

Loaded coal train C206 passes by one of the most historic covered bridges in the country, the Humpback Bridge near Covington, VA. CSX has their own bridge adjacent to the landmark that accommodates two tracks over Dunlap Creek.

For whatever reason, after leading L211-08 into Hinton a couple days prior, 1776 was put in charge of a combined L211-08/L211-10 to complete the two trains' journeys to Clifton Forge. The large local is seen here preparing to work the Covington, VA yard.

2 BNSF ET44C4's, 3936 and 3904, lead CSX's Brunswick, MD Yard Job Y101 through the Maple Avenue road crossing. Just up the street from this train is the "BRUNSWICK" sign, which I simply had to include in the picture.

The full body paint “Spirit of our First Responders” unit paired with the New York Central heritage unit, one of CSX’s new heritage locomotives…this is what CSX railfans dream of!

This rebuilt MARC GP39PH-3C has frequented the Brunswick area in the last few months, and I was lucky enough to catch it leading this evening service with a nice P5 horn!

M422 rolls through the busy town of Gaithersburg, MD with 5 head end locomotives, with the leading 3 being EMD SD70AC’s. The parking garage adjacent to the tracks provided a great vantage point on this sunny Sunday evening.

With one CSX after another coming over the Powell’s Creek Trestle in Woodbridge, VA, I figured I’d switch the shot up a bit and use some trees in Leesylvania State Park for my frame.

After a couple weeks of drought in the Northern Virginia area, rain finally began to pass through with some amount of regularity. The impending showers that shadowed the sun for this picture brought out the green of the flourishing grass nicely.

An unhealthy obsession with SD70AC leaders on the RF&P Subdivision has led to seeing #4582 leading a train through this area for the third time. Something about these engines makes us want to go back for more every time we hear one is coming.

Western Maryland Scenic Railroad GP30 #501 is in the lead of the 2023 Polar Express Excursion out of Cumberland, MD. It waits at the old WM Cumberland Station building for the 3:30pm excursion - one of a few excursions available on this day.

As wind creates ripples across the top of the water of Powell’s Creek, CSX Intermodal I135 crosses the Powell’s Creek Trestle with the Père Marquette Heritage Unit in the lead.

CSX ET44AH #3428 leads CSX Intermodal I126 through thick fog in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The fog was something we had to deal with almost every morning during our weeklong trip to the humid region that is Southeast Georgia.
