With a half moon illuminating partly cloudy skies, a westbound loaded coal train exits the Coal River Subdivision with an approach slow signal at "Indian", CLF 1.0 on the railroad's former C&O coal branch to Danville. While mainline routes have been stripped of their C&O heritage, C&O-style signals still guide trains throughout much of the Huntington Division's coal branches, as seen here on the Coal River Subdivision.
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!)
