Things can heat up starting at about 5:30 a.m. If the northbound Silver Meteor is late, not that that ever happens, you see him. CSX is in the habit of sending through a northbound stack train a few minutes ahead of 86’s schedule. Then, at 6:16, you get 86. That’s pretty reliable, as it originates in Richmond. You see the same people riding that train, as it serves as a commuter train.

There are some groups.io groups for CSX sightings, but I don’t know of anyone who concentrated on the Richmond-Petersburg-Ashland area.

You need only one frequency to listen to trains on the old RF&P: 161.550 MHz.
