Number 51, the westbound Cardinal, passes beneath a cantilever C&O era signal bridge lurking in the shadows as its heads towards Thurmond, Huntington and ultimately, Chicago.
Not too far from Peach Creek, C&O had a string of 2-6-6-6’s condemned to scrap in the yard at Hinton, W. Va., such as 1624 on Aug. 5, 1956. I was too late to see and hear the brutes in action.
