With a built date of December 2011, a pair of consecutively numbered GE ES44AC's lead an empty coal train over the Coal River Subdivision from Russell. The train is destined for the Danville coalfields, photographed at Armstrong Tunnel, just thirty miles from its crew run destination. These AC's are crisp in the morning sun, sporting the "How Tomorrow Moves" boxcar logo on the nose and hoods, a recent addition to the most recent order of locomotives by CSX.
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!)
