Deep in the trough, along the banks of the South Branch
of the Potomac River, the subtle drone of an idling B&O F7(A) echos off of the narrow mountain valley, in a scene painted by moonlight and flash. Surrounded by wildlife, and many Bald Eagles, notably what the Potomac Eagle is known for, the South Branch Valley is a perfect example of mountain railroading in some of the most secluded parts of West Virginia.
This is dedicated (with permission) to the skilled and gifted photographer - Chase Gunnoe - who regularly posts and is on staff with RP. I believe he deserves a gallery showcasing his remarkable photos. This is for you Chase! (More great photos to come!)
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
