Trainspotting during Cup practice at Martinsville as a CSX freight train passes through 🚂🚃🚃🚃 "Now that we've derailed this far, let me get you all the way off the tracks."

*Norfolk Southern before I get well actually'd to death

🤔 could be autoracks coming up from Spartanburg South Carolina after loading up at the BMW plant.

I think that’s Norfolk Southern 11E (Winston-Salem, NC to Roanoke, IN)

NASCAR Train spotting was NOT on my bingo sheet

I was plane spotting at daytona this year lmao

NASCAR commentator infodumping about trains was NOT on my 2026 autism bingo card, but I'll take it.

So can I jump on the train and just jump off at the race track lol.

IIRC that's a Norfolk Southern line, Southern before that. They moved it away from the track maybe 20 25 years ago, it used to run right behind the stands there. It would make sense to put a siding in and run passenger trains right to the track though

Please tell me you play train station 2

Been a minute since I've played any train simulators

Were you the one that posted that Thomas the Tank Engine as a console game now?

Yep!

What I would give to see ol' 611 pass the track during a race.

nascar train spotting in big 26 ❤️

Is the NASCAR dude a Railfan?

I wonder if there's ever an opportunity for a passenger train to the track, like they do at Rockingham, but even closer. Throw some temporary platforms down and boom.

It use to pass a lot closer to the track...

That’s a Norfolk Southern route, not CSX

. @mikejoy500 with elite railroad knowledge

Man, I wish this was a thing when Fontana was open.

@ThomasFriends

Should set up a union station right there.

Norfolk southern

Right… grandstands that are now gone.

That’s a Norfolk Southern (NS) train and mainline between Roanoke, VA and Winston-Salem, NC.

I bet that was pretty noisy

When they started talking trains My autistic brain switched on

well , as for me , i love trains 😅
