Freshly produced coke from the Mon Valley rolls west, destined for Inland Steel if the 3rd and 4th cars are any indication.
Early in the morning, Z410 passes the burned-out shell of old JD Tower.
A nice lashup of SD40-2, SD45, and a C30-7 on this coal train.

A pair of the many SD40-2s on CSX's roster wait for their next assignment in Hamlet.

The fourth unit on this train is an SD45, this was one of only a few times that I saw a 45 in active service on CSX.
An old switcher makes a nice prop for a passing hopper train on the former C&O Mountain Subdivision.
