R171 at Twin Oaks
CSX train R171, the southbound Orange Blossom Special, rolls south (B&O west) under the US 322 overpass at Twin Oaks, Pennsylvania. One of the hottest trains on the lines that hosted it, the OBSS was a fan favorite north of Washington due to Richmond Fredericksburg &Potomac leaders. The RF&P’s cab signal system requirements dictated that a home road engine had to lead, and they ran through at Potomac Yard to allow expedited crew changes.
