One of two leasers in from of the yard office today.
I didn't expect to find this in 2003.
An awsome find in Kingsport Yard is this Burro Rail Crane in a siding, and yes...that DOES say CHESSIE SYSTEM!!!
Q568 is east of Copper Creek and about to cross under the Clinchfield.
CSX detour manifest Q568 climbs uphill.
Q568 crosses Bootleg Trestle on her way to Kingsport.
A serene scene on the river.
A brief rain shower has brought the mist over the rails at Jasper.
A NS WB empty coal train is at restricted speed awaiting clear track ahead. Very fitting for the time, a Union Pacific Flagged SD70M is in mid-consist on the day before Independence Day 2003.
A NB empty coal train glides under this C&O signal guarding the junction to the Coal Run Sub.
NS U53 pulls out of the yard with a short cut of cars and a little red caboose.
An indication of the many back-up moves made on this line.
Two AC's pullin' and two pushin' this mixed loaded coal train.
