CSX train M416-05 was at Harper's Ferry crossing the Potomac River and exiting Maryland.
Landfall is made and the westbound is now in West Virginia. This daily manifest runs between Rocky Mount, North Carolina and terminates in Cumberland, Maryland.
The good stuff (EMDs) were of course trailing the GE.
This past fall brought colour to parts of the Edson sub that beat anything we've had in the past several seasons. Junk train M416 passes through a swath of yellow at Magnolia Alberta
On a gorgeous spring sunday afternoon, CSXT M416 cruises through rural Woodford, Virginia with a special unit in the lead. CSX 3194 is painted like a police cruiser to honor law enforcement, and as some may know, my Dad retired from the Massachusetts State Police, so it's especially meaningful for me. Yesterday was a gorgeous day to be trackside on the RF&P, and I am so glad the timing of this train worked out.
M416-15 with the SCL heritage unit leading the way. The rear herald is still pink and you can still see the pink spray paint on the Seaboard.
March 26 was a good day for those of us on the RF&P, as CSX's Honoring Law Enforcement Unit was on the point of M416 out of Acca Yard in Richmond. Their afternoon call time was perfect to take advantage of the golden hour, and Jones Crossing in Woodford was an excellent spot to wait for them and get a few shots I'm very proud of. Another classic location on my "home rails" that allows you to sit back and enjoy the coming and going of trains.
It is 20 degrees just as the clock hits 9 PM in Ashland, VA, and CSX M416 is heading north past the Ashland depot with a fresh crew to take the train to Brunswick, MD.
CSX M416 blasts passed the RF&P/US&S signal at Doswell with CSX 3194 leading. The crew on the train took 2 hour to get it from ACCA to Doswell, which I’m positive will peeve the NOVA railfans because they can’t get a daylight shot of the RS5T unit.
Early CSX M416-04 heads west on 1 at 5:36pm though Georgetown Junction passing Silver Spring Maryland with 3 Gevos on the headend and one Rebuild CM44AH doing rear dpu.

Wait, what? An upload? After all this time?
Yeah, I'm not 'back' as such - I'm on a small holiday at the moment between semesters, and if you follow my gaming Youtube channel you'll know that I'm pretty much addicted to this game - I felt inspired to make a figure.
He is wearing all the level 3 gear, with a decked-out M416 and Kar98k.
To make this figure, I mostly used G-BRICKS/Richard's parts:
Helmet: SI-DAN Transparent riot visor with a sculpted eye shield, mounted to a SI-DAN modern combat helmet (I don't know the product names, deal with it)
Vest: G-BRICKS Modular Military figure vest with pouches and backpack, with sculpted fur in hood
Legs: G-BRICKS Modular Military figure legs
Arms: G-BRICKS Parka arms
The M416 is Tiny Tactical and the Kar98k is Brickarms.
Hope you guys like the figure!
A bright future indeed as M416 rolls up the RF&P with a YN2 duo. Never gets old seeing these old war wagons leading mainline hotshots.
CSX M416 rumbles through Ashland with three up front and a healthy cut of CCX intermodal from Rocky Mount, NC
Just as the sun begins to rise over Brunswick, MD, manifest M416 pulls out of the yard for headroom, as the trailing unit CSXT 1973, the newly released Chessie System Heritage Unit, pulls stopped right in front of us for a few shots.
Amtrak 153 arrives at Staples Mill Road in Richmond on an unexpectedly snowy MLK Day. On the right, M416 can be seen getting ready to depart northbound.
CSX 883 is seen leading daily Rocky Mount, NC - Cumberland, MD manifest M416 through Ashland, VA on an overcast April afternoon.
Just another from this fabulous day back in the spring to go in the trip album.
While not true street running this location deserves honorary mention and certainly qualifies for the distinction of 'Trains Where Trains Shouldn't Be.' Long on my bucket list of places to visit I finally made it here to a place well known among railfans and it did not disappoint.
CSXT's very busy RF&P Sub mainline bifurcates downtown with two main tracks running 1.3 miles between the north and south lanes of Center Street. The tracks pass through the heart of the historic downtown business district, passing historic inns, small restaurants, quaint shops, and even a brewery. North of the town center the rails pass directly by Randolph Macon College with fraternity and sorority houses lining the tracks and to the south the rails cut through a charming neighborhood of leafy yards and historic homes. There truly isn't anything like it!
Chartered in 1834, the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad reached the area 16 miles north of its headquarters in the commonwealth's capital two years later. The railroad originally developed the town as a mineral springs resort and built a racetrack in the 1840s and the town was officially incorporated in 1858 and named after the estate of the famous Kentucky statesman Henry Clay who was born nearby and had passed away a half dozen years earlier.
The 118 mile RF&P controlled this railroad until 1991 when after 157 years it was merged out of existence by its parent and majority owner, CSX Transportation. If you'd like to learn more this is a great short little video documentary on the road: youtu.be/uPP2BelAiXE
Today it is exceptionally busy seeing 22 daily passenger trains and 16-20 freights on the average day and my visit was no exception.
Northbound manifest M416 headed from Rocky Mount, NC to Cumberland, MD rolls down Main 2 at about MP 14.3 as it chases a vehicle headed up South Center Street.

Empty oil train B774 heads west through Brunswick, MD, as it passes a tied down M416 with CSX 4814, an SD70MAC, doing the honors. This is a once in a lifetime type of shot!
In a weird Veterans Day coincidence, CSX opted to put their Veterans Tribute Unit (#1776) on the point of M416 bound for Cumberland, Maryland. Seen here passing Point of Rocks, MD on 11 November 2025.
Being a Navy Veteran, it seemed like a good idea to go out and shoot this one for my first night photo in a couple of years.
Hey guys!
I finished them finally!
Know this. THESE weapons will not be their showcase weapons! These are just temporary!!!
Now that I got that out of the way, onto the figures! First of all i LOVE these figures. I put a lot of time and effort in them. For example the kangaroo pouches on the medic for example.
Camo is AOR-2.
Overall I'm really proud of these figures. ;)
Which one do YOU like the best? I personally like all. :)
Lemme' know if you guys want individual pictures of each one of them!
Oh, expect some Medal of Honor: Warfighter figures soon!
Credit to Yoshifan151 for the medic pouch.
C&C appreciated!
Enjoy your Labor day Everyone!
See ya!

This year has certainly been an interesting one for my photography wise. Normally, I have travelled around the Commonwealth of Virginia a few times by this point, chasing whatever cool stuff the railroads send. But thankfully, 2024 has been the year of cool stuff on the RF&P, and few things are more rare than a double YN2 lashup on a road freight. On a stormy November morning, M416 found a beautiful sun hole as they crossed over Powell's Creek. The 2 AC4400CWs still wearing the YN2 scheme would be fairly rare leaders in their own right, but paired up together certainly made for a fantastic catch. I have to admit, it's nice being spoiled and having the good stuff run right in my own backyard.
CSXT M416, led by a very clean CW44AC #545, is westbound on the Cumberland Subdivision approaching Warm Springs Rd at Shenandoah Jct, WVA. Photographing anything on CSX that's still in the much loved YN2 scheme is a rarity in 2025. Ektachrome E100, Nikon F100.
Third up is the United States Assault Kit from Battlefield 4!
As I have mentioned previously, I had to take a step out of my comfort zone with painting camouflage and gluing very small things like TinyTactical onto figures, both need much more practice to get the hang of.
Starting with the legs, I painted on a base layer of "Default' camouflage. On top of that are various details such as the boots, brown knee outline, TT CP Knee pads, and straps on the upper portion of the legs. He has a dark tan belt with a grey clip-buckle and 3 small tan (attempted) pouches.
Moving onto the torso, he has a dark tan B10 Tactical vest. The vest features a camouflage patch in the center, black ammo pouch buckles, brown vest straps with light grey buckles, and a painted black radio on the back. His arms are just the basic tan with dark tan TT shoulder pockets glued on.
His head is a breacher head from eclipseGRAFX painted brown with dark tan straps. Also, he is wearing a MC JS-1 headset and a tan BK1X with painted dark tan details.
The weapons I have for this Kit are the TT DFC, which I am using to portray the M416 with a holographic sight. I also specially made a pair of defibrillators, just to top off the figure since the assault kit is otherwise known as a medic. The defibrillators have been made with 2x T-Bars and a flag piece which were cut up, painted dark grey, and the buttons were added later.
Please, in the comments below, leave your feedback, it really means a lot to me!
one more thing I'd like to point out is today I finally 5,000 subscribers on YouTube, so I'd like to thank you all for that as well!
Thanks guys!
If you favorite, I'd like to hear your feedback in the comments as well! :)

Happy Memorial Day! Finally a post, here is my Marine with Marpat and a M416. Getting a Tiny Tactical order soon, so more soon!
East Yorkshire 216 is picking up in Beverley Sow Hill bus station. It is a Volvo B10M with Alexander PS bodywork. New in 1994 as Ribble 416 for the original Stagecoach Manchester operation, it passed with that operation to EYMS subsidiary Finglands as its no. 1416 and later joined East Yorkshire's main fleet.
After withdrawal from service, it became a driver training unit.
About 170 of the Italian Macchi M.416 were built as a basic trainer for the Italian Air Force.
The M.416 is built under license in 1950 as reproduction of the Fokker S-11 "Instructor".
They served not to long with the Italian Air Force.and were overtaken soon by aircraft with better performances.
Many found their way to Italian Aeroclubs as trainers.
This aircraf was well known for its special suspension on the wheels, often mentioned "bending knees".
This Italian Air Force aircraft is showed in the Aviation Museum in Bracciano near Rome. Worth a visit it is.
The registration of this aircraft is MM 53762.

On SORN and no MOT history. Current owner since very shortly before I was born in late 2005 (feel old yet?).
As the rear of CSX N780 passes, the crew from B774, the oil train with CN power, departs their train as the SD70MAC and the CN GE are soon to be left alone as the cold night moves in
