Despite a heavy winter storm dumping several inches across NS' Bluefield Yard, railroading continues on the former Norfolk & Western mainline as NS SD70M No. 2643 leads an empty hopper train westbound into the yard, as an eastbound loaded train for Roanoke waits for better signals to descend the plateau. Nearly 14" of snow would accumulate before daybreak; one of the most significant snow storms of 2014.
For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
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!)
