Big Lawson Fall

Eastbound Norfolk Southern Local U48 brings a lengthy 35 car empty train of cement hoppers over Big Lawson Trestle near Coeburn, VA, on the former Norfolk and Western Railroad's Clinch Valley district. The trestle vaults the railroad way up over Lawson Hollow on the side of Bull Mountain. Directly behind me Little Lawson Trestle will do the same a few seconds after the train passes me. U48's light train made quick work of Bull Mountain this day, and was making light work of the descent towards Saint Paul, Virginia, a few miles in the distance...

 

Thanks for looking!
