Mar 11, 2006 - NS 9020 pops out of into daylight |
| Description: |
NS 9020 leads a loaded coal train out of Natural Tunnel as patrons and engineer wave to each other on a very nice 78 degree March day in SW Virginia. Natural Tunnel was formed by a river that flows through the tunnel and created a optimal route for the South Atlantic and Ohio railroad during its construction. The SA&O would later become part of the Southern and later Norfolk Southern and is now an important route for moving coal from the mines of SW Virginia to utilities in the southeast. |

| Description: |
Obviously a Norfolk bound train, NS 9774 leads a BNSF "swoosh" and another NS unit through the Jones interlocking, mp 62.3-A, east of Rader, the community and name for the west end of this siding, while 15T waits in the siding for 236's passage. Trains must obtain trackwarrants to operate through the single track segments between the CTC sidings, a odd, but intresting operation. Obviously they never installed CTC circuits in the single track. |
