Nokesville was so cold…
After dinner at the Chuck Wagon, it was so cold we had to watch the trains from the car.
A few days later, at the same spot:

Watching the train
A drizzly Saturday morning before our breakfast at the Chuck Wagon, Nokesville, Virginia. Right on time, the Amtrak Crescent sped through the crossing, en route from New Orleans to New York. It’s a 1,300-mile journey which could take almost 20 hours to drive, but takes only 30 hours (with 32 stops) by train. The price is $152. This is the same route which suffered last night’s 100 mph crash in Philadelphia, although that was an electric train from Washington to New York. I don’t suppose the trains through Nokesville go faster than 50 mph.
