A duo of CW44AC's in CSX's YN2 paint scheme lead empty coal train E315 through Dumfries, VA. While a YN2 duo is not yet "impossible" to see, it is quickly becoming harder to catch as more are getting rebuilt/repainted.

AMTK P42DC #104 leads Northeast Regional train 158 north through Dumfries, VA. The subject of the picture is a railroad crossing warning sign for the Cherry Hill Road crossing at the base of the hill.
