The RF&P Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation. It runs from Washington, D.C., to Richmond, Virginia, over lines previously owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. The line's name pays homage to that railroad, which was a predecessor to the CSX. At the northern (eastern) end of the line, the RF&P Sub connects to the Capital Subdivision, which runs to Baltimore, Maryland. Just before the Anacostia Railroad Bridge on the Capital Sub is the Virginia Avenue Tunnel. South (west) of the tunnel is a branch to the Amtrak First Street Tunnel, which leads to Union Station and the Northeast Corridor. The Virginia Avenue Tunnel is used only for freight trains, while the First Street Tunnel is used only for passenger trains. Continuing south, the RF&P Sub crosses the Potomac River over the Long Bridge into Virginia, and passes through Alexandria and Fredericksburg, ending in Richmond at the Richmond Terminal Subdivision.[1] [2] Locomotives: MP36PH-Built-2003 Cab-Interior Bi-Level Gallery Cars Freight Trains CSX: CSX-B40-8 Cab-Interior GP60 Cab-Interior SD60M Cab-Interior SD80MAC Cab-Interior ET44AH Amtrak Trains: P42DC Railroads: - CSX Transportation - Amtrak - Virginia Railway Express Station Stops: - Washington Union Station - L'Enfant - Crystal City - Alexandria - Franconia-Springfield - Lorton VRE Station - Lorton Auto Train Station - Woodbridge - Rippon - Quantico - Brooke - Leeland Road - Fredericksburg - Spotsylvania - Ashland - Richmond Staples Mill Station - Richmond Main Street Station
I traveled this route recently, and there are caboose operations just north of Ashland, VA as well as an Alco RS (I believe it to be an RS3) that handles switching for Quantico, VA.
All can layer to Sand Patch Grade, SD80MAC has 5,000hp and there is a small chance of the game giving you SD80MAC GP38-2 SD40-2 Clinchfield SD40 8,000hp SD80MAC with AC4400CW 9400 hp on Sand Patch Grade. DLC locomotive AC6000CW for the route.
Are you suggesting a B40-8 to use as a yard switcher? Because I find that most yard switchers happen to be EMD. Not gonna lie I would love to see a standard cab GE. To be fair I’m happy with the C40-8W but it would definitely be nice to have a bit more variety of general electric locomotives.
