Burnside Miracle
Burnside Miracle.
Norfolk Southern priority freight 224 is seen departing Burnside, Kentucky, for Danville, Kentucky. The long train has just swapped crews and is mere moments into what will be a mostly nocturnal run towards Danville, and eventually Louisville, Kentucky, and the eventual destination of Kansas City, Mo. We waited at this location hoping for the train to show before dark, but not really expecting sun. As the lead motor popped onto the bridge the sun broke through the persistent cloud deck, and illuminated the massive bridge long enough to let the head engines and as many cars as you can see here across. A top ten all time moment out shooting for certain.
