The Fredericksburg Battlefield: A National Icon and National Park
Situated between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Virginia, the small town of Fredericksburg has transformed since the extreme desolation in 1862 during the Battle of Fredericksburg, to the creation of the National Cemetery and the sanctuary for Union dead at the various engagements around Spotsylvania County, but also the formation of the areas inside the great National Park Service site today. This documentary will cover events that transpire after the Battle of Fredericksburg in December of 1862, look at how land is preserved , and how men are memorialized in Fredericksburg, Virginia in the twenty-first century.

Fredericksburg Battlefield, VA, US - Part 1
Please visit for full video and more free videos. Fredericksburg is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia located 50 miles south of Washington, D.C., and 58 miles north of Richmond. It is a part of the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Located on the Rappahannock River near the head of navigation at the fall line, Fredericksburg developed as the frontier of colonial Virginia shifted west out of the coastal plain.
Named for Frederick, Prince of Wales, son of King George II, the colonial town's streets bore the names of members of the royal family.
The city has close associations with George Washington, whose family moved to Ferry Farm in Stafford County just off the Rappahannock opposite Fredericksburg in 1738.
Other significant early residents include the Revolutionary War generals Hugh Mercer and George Weedon, naval war hero John Paul Jones, and future U.S. president James Monroe.
During the American Civil War, Fredericksburg gained strategic importance due to its location midway between Washington and Richmond, the opposing capitals of the Union and the Confederacy.
During the battle of Fredericksburg, December 11 - 15, 1862, the town sustained significant damage due to bombardment and looting at the hands of Union forces.
A second battle was fought in and around the town on May 3, 1863, in connection with the Chancellorsville campaign (April 27, 1863 - May 6, 1863).
The battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House were fought nearby in May 1864.
Today Fredericksburg is the commercial hub of a rapidly growing region in north central Virginia.
The national military park preserves portions of the battlefields of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House. The Fredericksburg National Cemetery, also part of the park, is located on Maryes Heights on the Fredericksburg battlefield and contains more than 15,000 Union burials from the areas battlefields.
Battle of Fredericksburg
* The December 13, 1862 battle is known as General Robert E. Lees easiest victory
Battle of Chancellorsville
The May 1-5, 1863 battle is known as General Robert E. Lees greatest victory.
Battle of Wilderness
The May 5-6, 1864 battle began a six week campaign that began the bloodiest campaign in American history.
Battle of Spotsylvania
On May 8, 1864 the Union army seized initiative by moving from Wilderness to Spotsylvania Court House. That shift changed the course of the war as the armies began the road to Lees surrender at Appomattox Court House.
Chatham Manor is a historic building that served as a headquarters and hospital during the battle.
Driving Tour: There are two sections of the battlefield; Prospect Hill and Marye's Heights. A five-mile driving tour links the two sections beginning at the Fredericksburg Battlefield Visitor Center at the base of Marye's Heights.

ABOUT THIS FEED:
Ashland, VA, in Central Virginia, is located on the CSX RF&P Subdivision, the former Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad, and is about 15 miles north of Richmond. The town gets over 20 Amtrak passenger trains and 20-25+ CSX freight trains daily. It’s a designated quiet zone, but the crew can use the horns at their discretion. The maximum speed for trains passing through the town's center is 35 miles per hour (MPH).
There are 3 cameras available. The default camera is an Axis 360 located on top of the Visitor’s Center (train station), and 2 static cameras facing North and South on the other side of the intersection. Desktop users can use the suitcase icon at the bottom of the video to toggle between cams. For other devices, you can access the static cams with the links above.
See Tiny Tim’s Trains and Toys Store on the south cam? It's awesome, and worth a visit. Tell Suzanne and crew we said hello!
There is no ATCS layout (and no server coverage) available for the RF&P Sub, as it does not use radio code line (RCL) for switch-and-signal control (RCL is essential for ATCS availability).
There is a radio feed available, listening to the CSX RF&P Sub (BD dispatcher) and Richmond Terminal (FB dispatcher) channels, as well as the Buckingham Branch Railroad's (BBRR) Piedmont Sub channel (which crosses the RF&P Sub at a diamond in Doswell, to the north of Ashland):
A second radio feed providing the Richmond Terminal channel, as well as those for both the North End and Bellwood Subs, can be found here (select the Richmond Area Stream):
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. You can figure out the next Amtrak passenger train with this handy link:
There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Holiday Season in Fredericksburg TX
#FBGTX #Christmas #Holidays
Fredericksburg’s unique mix of German traditions and warm Texan hospitality make it a premier destination to celebrate this holiday season.
Petersburg National Battlefield Park Visitor Center
Made a visit to the Visitor Center at Petersburg National Battlefield Park. It's a really neat display of the old guns outside and interpretive and interactive exhibits inside. Lots of fighting towards the end of the Civil War happened here and there were many lives lost (70,000) in this hallowed ground.

Wicked Spring A-Camera Dailies - Epic Civil War Movie - March 2000
A rare look behind-the-scenes for the making of the 2003 released motion picture Wicked Spring. Raw, uncut, un-color-corrected Dailies form the very first day of full-scale production on March 31, 2000 near Blackstone, Virginia. Scenes portray the 1864 Battle of the Wilderness combat. No audio, so the original music from the film composed and conducted by David G. Russell was added. These scenes are Confederate-centric and show the actors Brian J. Merrick (Harrison) and Terry Jernigan (Hogg) as well as Jim Schruefer, DJ Perry and Tony Hornus.
This was shot on 35mm film, and this was from a rough, one-light transfer.
