This two engine train has went as far as it could go and now waits at Lindsay for help. Three Bluefield pushers will shove them on up the hill.

A fresh load of HUMVEEs enter the Glen Alum Tunnel on their way to the middle east.

A freshly painted Dash 8 knocks down the EB CPL at Old Joe. The paint was so new that you could smell it as it went by. Special thanks to Greg Cox and his ATCS for the heads up.

A grain wagon makes it way across the Pokey on a fine spring day. After a long winter, the hills are coming back to life as evident by all the fresh color in the mountains.

The red buds are popping open and the river runs a little high from the spring rains. Spring has sprung along the Pokey.

An NS crew member exchanges waves with fellow railfans during a recent outing out along the Pokey. The trip was sponsored by the local CWC.

In these parts, this is called a KYA curve. A pusher set banks into the curve at Ought One.

One mean looking machine. This old soldier still has what it takes to lead a coal train on the Pokey.

This C39-8E leads the way for this coal train. Still lookin good after all these years.....

The devon area along the Pocahontas is filled with big banked S curves that follow the route carved out by the Tug River. A theme park would charge $82.50 for such a thrilling ride.

These two trains are coalfields bound.

These old N&W cabs are still a common sight on mine runs in the WV coalfields. These two are being lit up by a passing coal drag on a cold but clear night along the Pokey.

This shot shows the banked rails that are needed to help get trains through one of the toughest curves along the Pokey.

Most railfans think that the NS units are too plain. I disagree, this B&W looks just as good as any other railroad colors out there. I would like to see a few of these babies in Tuscan red though.

An old workhorse chugs away in the Ben center siding as a coal train hustles mtys back to Williamson.
