Mikes 1896 and 1831—a J-4A-J-4 doubleheader---blast out of Corbin on the “High Line” with a DeCoursey-bound train in 1942. The double tracked Cumberland Valley Division to Loyall is in the foreground. The lead engine carries white flags, denoting an extra (or unscheduled) freight. Most of the coal trains (as well as southbound empty drags) on the CV and the KY were operated as extras rather than scheduled trains. (L&N Photo/my Collection)
