Kingsport Departure
CSX Russell, Kentucky, to Waycross, Georgia, time freight Q693 departs the north Tennessee city of Kingsport on a fine fall morning. The train is climbing hard as they cross the South Fork of the Holston river on their way out of town. The three GE's are bound on this crew for Spartanburg down the highly scenic Blue Ridge subdivision. Ahead lays the Nolichucky River Gorge and the tough run to Spruce pine down the Toe river.
