The sun is falling fast on the western horizon, and we are standing on the north end of the platform of the ex-ACL Rocky Mount, NC train station as we catch SB CSX F774 the Rocky Mount to Boykins, Va. Turn. AKA the "Steel Train" returning from Boykins with the loads of sheet steel that will be blocked here to Hamlet and Cumberland to be further blocked there to their final destination. F774 is a turn that goes north to Boykins with 50-100 mty. bulkhead flats, and loads of scrap steel gons, and returns south with a like number of loaded bulkheads and mty. scrap gons. Today F774 comes south with 54 cars, 3 mty. covered hoppers, 49 loaded bulkheads of sheet steel, and 2 mty. lpg tank cars.
