It's a beautiful February morning in the James River valley, and manifest train Q303 is blasting out of Clifton Forge having finished working the yard.
Q302-23 with CSXT 445 and CSXT 241 east at Graysbranch.
An eastbound train is rounding the curve and passing the former location of the standard C&O brick tower "MA Cabin", just west of Hawks Nest, West Virginia.
