Title:  Going in the hole again for another westbound empty coal train
Description:  BB 7 waited out the next train for 2 hours. That's insane, they could've finished their switching and been in Gordonsville before the next train got here. Blocks sure aren't efficent.

Louisa VA
Title:  Louisa VA
Description:  Louisa, population of about 1600, sits in the Virginia county of the same name. The place is a blast from the past and still has its frame passenger and freight stations, although neither seemed to be used any more. Fifty years ago the depot served up to six passenger trains a day, including the George Washington, Sportsman and FFV. Now it typically sees the passage of westbound empty CSX coal trains and Buckingham Branch freight.
