Returning from a railfan trip to Knoxville I discovered a rather spiffy looking Conrail alumnus.
Say so long. West of town a helper set is pushing hard on a southbound coal train destined to diverge onto NS trackage rights just down the road. Our subject is on borrowed time and will be gone... (more)
