Fascinating shot. You must have been covered in coal dust after the train passed!

I guess the air filters in those units wont be upto much come the end of that day then!

Cough! Cough! Those guys in the helpers should've got hazard pay for that run! Nice shot.

I got shots of this train as it came through Latrobe, Pa. Very nicely done there buddy!

I thought it was exhaust at first.
Coal dust was a major contributor to the powder river derailments of a few years ago.
The dust settled on the right of way and prevented proper drainage of the snow during the spring thaw.
I wonder if there are similar problems on the NS?

This must be really good for the air filters!

Something about this pic looks familiar, but never seen the coal dust that thick. Nice pic.

What a way to break in a new 7D and a 24-105L!

For all of California's faults, looking at this I am sure glad I live here and not in PA. That dust is a carcinogen and there is no way a RR would be allowed to do that out here. Nice picture though.
