On the move. After a long days journey from her long time resting spot in Georgia, L&N 0-8-0 2132, the only surviving home built L&N engine, is making the last turn onto Depot St. in Corbin, KY. A... (more)

CSX N258 rolls through the dip of Bacon Creek as it heads south toward Etowah
One of a vanishing breed, a nice looking four axle on a major railroad. This one will soon depart with a southbound auto rack train.

Another southbound coal train is today led by something a little special, even more so because the "spoilers" forgot to paint over the WM.
The stealth paint scheme was like a horrible wreck. somehow you just couldn't look away.
LN yard job switching Corbin
Retired and headed for scrapping, this unit began life as a Piedmont and Northern engine, went to SCL and ended up on the relatively large L&N fleet of C420s.
A real mixed bag of stuff sits around awaiting work in what some call the good old days.
