Passing rain showers have left patchy fog along the Coal River as the eastward-facing C&O cantilever signal at E.E.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
