Deadheading from Williamson to Columbus, OH after performing a series of employee appreciation specials, NKP 765 crosses the C&O at Kenova, as mainline steam prepares to cross the Ohio River into South Point. The very rails in the foreground were operated by NKP 765 during her last visit to West Virginia, pulling the New River Train excursions for the Collis P. Huntington Railroad Historical Society in the early 90's. Photo taken from 12th Street grade crossing.
