Hey wondering if anybody has any good railfan stories to tell about. I do. I didnt actually railfan but i listened on my scanner. I live next to the Norfolk Southern Hagerstown District. This morning at 7:00 when I woke up there was no trains coming through but about a half hour later I heard the first train I think it was 213, then he was followed by 11R. These two are eastbound train that run over the B-Line. Then I heard I14 over at Woods, If anybody here lives in Front Royal they know where that is. Anyway those two had to meet I14 which is an intermodal extra. My dad was on that train this morning copying track warrants. Then you got the dispatcher talking to the Maintanence of Way guys trying to get some track and time. Then after the dispatcher gets done with the MOW's he gets a call from I14 asking for a signal at Riverton Jct. while he is talking to local V92 and 38Q at the same time. I think he was getting kind of mad because he yelled. Then just a couple of minutes ago W7Q, 37Q, 227, 211, and V87 went through. Thats 5 trains within 1 hour. Now there is a 12R that just asked for the signal at Riverton Jct and there is still lots more on the way I know there will be a 212, 228, and E95 not sure about anything else. Man wish I could of gotten out to see the trains today. If anybody would like the train #'s for up here i got em <br />11R, 12R, 211, 212, 213, 214, 227, 228, 24G, 22G, 38Q, 37Q, 16T, 15T, V86, V87, 800, 840, 828, 829, 801 and 2 rare trains 694 and 695 both coal. The ones in the 800's are also coal exept for 828 and 829 which are unit coke trains. <br />If anyone has any good stories please post them. I wanna see where all the good railfanning spots are at so i can visit them one day!
