Remarks & Notes |
On the back roads of Pike County Kentucky, a loaded export coal train destined for Bluefield and points east along the N&W mainline glides downgrade on the Buchanan Branch in full dynamics. Approaching the wye at Devon, this heavy drag will soon be eastbound on the Pokey mainline west of Iaeger. The cold weather and recent snow have allowed for huge walls of ice to form along rock faces, but an increase in temperature and early morning rain showers have left behind spring-like temperatures and heavy fog in this true definition of Appalachian railroading. |
