Remarks & Notes |
With 13,200 horsepower on the head end and another 12,800 on the rear U85 makes its way up the grade on the soon to be taken out of service former Virginian Railroad mainline crossing the curved trestle and about to enter the tunnel at Garwood, WV. This once busy stretch of railroad has felt the decline of coal thanks to the EPA over the last decade especailly with the amount of coal leaving on a daily basis has declied to the point that the line is no longer deemed necessary. |
