The very last Norfolk Southern-ran NS 380 rolls into Maben, W.Va., after a heavy rain. Within a few hours of giving up its track authority, this section of the former Virginian Princeton-Deepwater District would be transitioned to Watco's Kanawha River Railroad - a 308-mile short line railroad serving central Ohio and West Virginia. The KNWA just recently celebrated its 1-year anniversary of moving freight across this beautiful route.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
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!)
This is dedicated (with permission) to the skilled and gifted photographer - Chase Gunnoe - who regularly posts and is on staff with RP. I believe he deserves a gallery showcasing his remarkable photos. This is for you Chase! (More great photos to come!)
