The B702's third unit is cut off to run the branch to MD metals across a trestle that was modified very little since the line opened in the 1860's.
Very nice consist heading south on 35Q. This train is idling in Vardo Yard, preparing for a crew change. It departed five hours later.
No relation to WM 132 but still an interesting train. A x-CR SD70MAC is trailing with 139 loads. This train would creep up the grade east of Martinsburg.
W&W power idles in the snow near the old Corning Plant, including their "locomotive formerly known as a slug."
11R heads south with a not so bad all-NS consist through a bucolic setting. This snowfall was the first significant one all year.
Local with 2 slugsets returns from Conservit on a frigid December day.
This CSX crew gets to drive a train and take a roller coaster ride at the same time! Yet another CSX branch to a scrap yard with some major track problems.
In my 300th Railpictures.net photo a UP leads a CEFX, with "Col. Phillip Hooper" engine third.
With the Martinsburg Roundhouse Restoration Project underway to the right and the Amtrak station to the left, Q130 heads towards its destination of Portsmouth, Va.

On the tail of 11R, I28 heads south.
203 trances south with no widecabs!

37Q, earlier than normal, backs his train across the south crossover from the main into the yard. The second unit was an NREX.
VERY nice leader on 35Q.
