I live in Front Royal, Virginia and this place sees a good amount of train. Riverton Jct. where the Piedmont Division and Virginia Division meet, this is the Norfolk Southern by the way is a nice place to watch trains because it is on Public Property. One night a couple of months ago I heard 10 trains within about an hour to two hours only because intermodal train 227 stalled on the hill at Linden. There were 5 on the Virginia Division side and 5 on the Piedmont side. You can see up to 20 a day through here as explained in the Post on this site called Railfan Stories. Another great place to watch trains is from Bluefield, WV to Williamson,WV. This again is the Norfolk Southern. I went there a year ago and saw many many trains within a short amount of time. I think I saw 2 intermodals, 4 coal trains, 1 empty, a grain train, and an autorack train all within about 45 minutes. The best place to Railfan out there is between Welch and Farm. In all i seen 52 trains within about 24 hours. There is a lot of coal out there as well as grain and mixed freight. I think there is only like 4 intermodals 218,217,233, and 234. I was supposed to go back there this year but I didnt. Man I wish I could of gotten out there! One other good place I forgot to mention is Roanoke, Va. This is once again the Norfolk Southern. The yard is huge and this area can see up to 100 a day depending on if its a good day or not. Even on holidays you can see a whole bunch of them. I havent been down there for a while but I hope to go back soon. The best place to watch them by the way is at the VA Museum of Transportation which is right next to the yard. This place is a railroad museum and had a great model railroad display inside.
