ABOUT THIS FEED:

Ashland, VA, in Central Virginia, is located on the CSX RF&P Subdivision, the former Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad, and is about 15 miles north of Richmond. The town gets over 20 Amtrak passenger trains and 20-25+ CSX freight trains daily. It’s a designated quiet zone, but the crew can use the horns at their discretion. The maximum speed for trains passing through the town's center is 35 miles per hour (MPH).

With the Amtrak change to a 3 day a week schedule, here are links to the adjusted timetable

Thank you J. Oliver

There are 3 cameras available. The default camera is an Axis 360 located on top of the Visitor’s Center (train station), and 2 static cameras facing North and South on the other side of the intersection. Desktop users can use the suitcase icon at the bottom of the video to toggle between cams. For other devices, you can access the static cams with the links above.

See Tiny Tim’s Trains and Toys Store on the south cam? It's awesome, and worth a visit. Tell Suzanne and crew we said hello! http://www.trainandtoystore.com

There is no ATCS layout (and no server coverage) available for the RF&P Sub.

There is a radio feed available, listening to the CSX RF&P Sub ("BD" dispatcher) and Richmond Terminal ("FB" dispatcher) channels, as well as the Buckingham Branch Railroad's (BBRR) Piedmont Sub channel (which crosses the RF&P Sub at a diamond in Doswell, to the north of Ashland): http://www.railroadradio.net/content/view/178/215

A second radio feed providing the Richmond Terminal channel, as well as those for both the North End and Bellwood Subs, can be found here (select the "Richmond Area Stream"): http://www.railroadradio.net/content/view/83/155/
