| Title: |
Long hood first |
| Description: |
This configuration was not the typical one for the RF&P, unlike its Virginia brethren N&W and Southern. Every once in a while a unit would get backwards. Today its the leader on this 52 car southbound, passing the Alexandria passenger station. |

| Title: |
Got the juice |
| Description: |
OJT, the Tropicana orange juice train, rolls north at AF. Typically, even numbered units faced north; somehow 138 got turned and is running backward. The train will terminate at Tropicana's Kearny NJ distribution center, where trucks will take the juice throughout the northeast. The cars will return south as they are unloaded, and are not returned as a unit train. |
