After unloading at the Yorktown, Va. crude processing facility, westbound empties streak through St. Albans under the lead power of a veteran Warbonnet C44-9W. The train is enroute to the CSX/BNSF interchange at Chicago before continuing across the Midwest to the Bakken oil fields for more loading.
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!)
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!)
