Two AWW SD9's load coal at Oakland City, sadly the railroad was finally taken control of by NS in early 2006 from what I've heard.
SD9's lugging 80 car coal trains on the ex-NYC in southern Indiana coal country in 2006? I'll take it! Sadly, this track, these engines, are no more from what I hear.
Empty coal train headed to Somerville central to load
Exiting Buckskin mine after loading
Loaded and moving briefly south. At the Buckskin wye (MP 149), 204 will cut off his engines and move them to the rear end to go back north.
Ah the roar of first gen EMD's and loaded coal. Long hood forward to boot!

Heading south on ISRR main for coal pickup at Buckskin
