Day Two, Doswell, VA

Day two began with a drive to Doswell, VA, the crossing of the C&O and  the RF&P.
 
The C&O after a series of mergers becomes a part of CSX. RF&P likewise became part of CSX. today the old C&O is operated as the Buckingham Branch.

First across the diamond is Amtrak 194 Northeast Regional, 165 leading, northbound December 31, 2012. You can hear the train cross the diamond. Next crossing the diamond is Amtrak 89 Palmetto, 48 leading, southbound. Back to Hermitage Rd. after a quick run by the Staples Mill Train Station.  First to the crossing was Amtrak 92 Silver Star, 1 leading, northbound. Followed by two northbound CSX freights: CSX 5388, leading northbound freight and CSX 5216 leading northbound freight.
