Let's see if y'all can guess where I got to go by today...

Without looking on Google Maps and/or Street View, see if you can guess which town I was in today just by this picture!

HINT: It's been called a town with some of the worst signal installs on this site in the past. :Tongue1:

That is Ashland, Virgina. Not sure how you could check Google Maps if you don't know where it is. :Tongue2: There is actually a live camera there now interestingly enough. Pretty cool that you went there! :cool:

Damnit Nathan! Ya beat me to it! :LOL3:

Its not my fault that the place is too easy to recognize because the fact that there is a railcam owned by Virtual Railfan. :Tongue2:

I meant past discussions here on the forum :TUP1:

Yep, it's Ashland! :TUP2: Interestingly I was approaching the crossing and there was a CSX train headed south on one track and then an Amtrak train immediately after on the other.

The CSX RF&P Sub, a very busy line that requires cab signals, so good luck getting anything good leading there. Did you get any photos of the crossings?
They/Them for me, please.

No, it was just a drive-by. I was with family and all I did was stuck my phone camera out the window.

I could tell just by the crossing signal alone. Scary... :Tongue1:
