After autorack train 25N cleared the scene at Glade Spring, V40 was given permission to open up and depart westbound to return to Bristol, seen here blaring through the hamlet of Meadowview.
The eastbound local waits patiently for the pending arrival of WB 25N whose Tennessee crew can be seen at far right. Empty coal hopper train (split) is at left.
Heavy winds blow snow flurries around as the end of 23G passes local V40 heading east away from Bristol.
Looking might sharp for a 37 year old. In background is rear of 38Q on track 2 and on the main is 819, WB empty coal hoppers.

Ready to head back to Bristol
Once found at the head of intermodals, this NS GP50 is now in local service

V40 heads to Abingdon to tie down for the night with a nice crew aboard.
V40 rolls on its way back home to Bristol.
Looking like a mainline freight from the 1970s.
Parked away from home (Bristol).
NS V40 rolling up the siding at Abingdon.
Done with work for the day, V40 heads back toward Bristol. The GP38-2 leader had the worst horn I have ever heard on a locomotive.
