Unexpected visitor. CSX 8006 (SD40-2) passes Clinchfield Railroad 3632 (SD45) while capturing night shots of the Clinchfield engines that were restored in honor of the 75th Anniversary of The Santa Train.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
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!)
