G888-20, with one of CSX's newest, takes a medium clear out of the passing siding from the C&O cantilever at KN Cabin. The sun has just dropped under the clouds giving an eerie glow to the evening sky. The rails are still wet from a passing thunderstorm that one hour ago brought baseball size hail and 60 MPH winds. The train itself has been sitting just out of Parsons Yard for two days as it was just leaving when the derecho hit that brought 80+ MPH winds from Chicago to the Atlantic Coast. The storm crippled the former C&O with nothing running over the Northern Subdivision for just over 24 hours and even longer on the Kanawha Subdivision in West Virgina.
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!)
For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
