After visiting the annual train show back in Johnson City, I caught up with a Northbound freight upon entering South End Carter Yard.
Another loaded coal train getting ready to depart Appalachia.
My first catch of 2022.
Crossing Old Dixon Schoolhouse Road on the outskirts of Blackey.
Main entrance of Martin Yard.
4047 passes by the signals at Beaver Junction, off the CSX Big Sandy Subdivision. Next stop, Martin Yard.
My first catch of 2021.
Three NS pushers coupled to a loaded Eastbound coal train shoves upgrade out of Appalachia. NS 1029 has been a regular loco assigned to trains within this area over the past few months.
Uncoupled empties from the main and reversing into Andover yard.
A pair of lite motors clear Watkins signal as they make their way towards Big Stone Gap after completing a crew change.
Between Little Tom Tunnel and Big Lawson Trestle along the former N&W Clinch Valley District, NS 789 crosses over the Buchanan Hollow crossing.
Run thru power on a Southbound NS manifest as it rolls through Somerset, Kentucky on a sunny fall afternoon. Looks like NS is in some need of extra power at the moment.
What I'm assuming to be an empty ethanol train rolls past Watergap crossing as it heads toward Russell.
