Any good railfan locations in VA beach area?
Posted by 88gta350 on Friday, June 4, 2004 12:23 PM
Next weekend we are taking a little weekend trip to the shore. Anyone know of any good railfan locations in the Norfolk/VA beach area? Or anywhere between the PA line and VA beach? Thought maybe I'd get to see something different than the usual stuff I see here.

Thanks!

OK, VA beach itself hasn't hd trains for years. Norfolk, Im not sure. there is a Railroad Museum in Richmond VA. Im in Brunswick MD, and the area Im in has the great Point of Rocks station, the Brunswick area, with a Railroad museum thats opened on the weekends, and Harpers Ferry, and an average of 50 CSX/ MARC (Weekdays)/ AMTRAK trains a day.

Go across the Cheasapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel.
The Eastern Shore may have some good stuff.
At least it was the last time I was there.(17 years ago)
I'm sure things have changed,but worth a shot!

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
