Clinchfield Splendor
The CSX Blue Ridge Subdivision through its namesake mountains is a mesmerizing stretch of railroad. It follows the path of the beautiful Nolichucky and Toe Rivers south towards the summit of the Blue Ridge in Altapass, North Carolina. In this image we are between Huntdale and Pigeon Roost, North Carolina, in a small place known
Relief. CSX 7212 is taking 75 loaded hoppers of grain south near sunset. Golden Hour is hitting its full, unbridled, stride, and the train shows up right on time. Squealing wheel flanges drown out the peaceful sounds of the river for a few moments, and then gradually it fades into the distance while nature takes back over. This part of the world is a pristine place, and I hope to return again, and again, and again.
Thank you for looking and reading! More shortline action soon!
