Seeing the 2265 on the point of D721 reminded me of my first trip to Magnolia when 30s and 30Ms were still active on CSX.
One of the earliest AC4400's ordered by CSX leads coal empties by the Magnolia CPL's.
In the evening using, coal empties split the CPL's at Magnolia, headed for Cumberland.
A westbound manifest bound for Cumberland passes over the dry Potomac River on a beautiful morning.
In the early morning sun, eastbound intermodal containers operating as CSX Q130 pass over the Potomac River as they continue their journey east on CSX's Magnolia Cutoff.

Two ways across...
Deep into the hills of West Virginia, The Capitol Limited makes it's way east through the Magnolia Cutoff.
A pair of GE AC4400CW's (CSXT 208 and 473) lead a loaded eastbound coal train across Magnolia Bridge.
NS power leads an empty PPLX hopper train westbound along the Great Wall of Magnolia.
LET US NOT FORGET 911!
Westbound Q377 pops out of Graham Tunnel. The head end of the train is in Maryland while the rear of the train and the photographer are in West Virginia.
Westbound Q377 exits Graham Tunnel on the Magnolia Cutoff.
A westbound empty coke train for the W&LE exits Graham Tunnel and crosses the Potomac River on the B&O's Magnolia Cutoff.
