Rolling through downtown Marmet, crude oil loads head for Yorktown, Va. from the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota, eastbound on the former C&O mainline. This photo is taken about 18 miles west of the scene of a large crude oil derailment that occurred on Feb. 16 in Mt. Carbon, W.Va. The incident brought crude-by-rail concerns to the forefront of the rail industry once more.
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!)
