I enjoy watching the CSX fast freights on the Virginia-Florida Raceway. They come up on you before you know it, and they're gone by the time you realize it, last time I went, I had camera trouble, so I was only able to get 1 good picture. I like to hear a SD-45 but to me the best sounding locomotive is a 2-8-4 Mikado Class Steamer. My favorite line is the old Southern Railway, but I have a lot of Seaboard Air Line/SCL-L&N (Family Lines System)/Seaboard System/CSX stuff. I bought a collection of stuff from a retired dispatcher who worked for those lines from 1962-1999, all for $400. I've had the stuff over a year and I'm yet to finish going through it all.

I'm not really that much of a railfan. We have 1 dispatcher that is a huge fan of the steamers but they don't do much for me. I'll take an sd70mac over anything else out there period.
