Charlotte Loads at Collco
CSX 4555 leads southbound train B627 under the long-disused coal tipple at Collco just south of Haysi, Virginia, on the former Clinchfield Railroad. The fresh SD70mac was a nice surprise to roll up to early in Shelbiana, KY, that morning. This train was the second of 5 southbounds called out on the scenic north end of the Clinchfield from 10 to 10 this day. Collco was one of many small coal loadouts that used to dominate this section of the railroad. Now only the massive McClure Prep Plant loads on this end, albeit in massive volumes. This was a great day on what was a great spring trip up in the mountains.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
