Eastman Empties at Natural Tunnel
The fourth to last General Electric ET44AH produced for CSX leads Eastman Chemical empties through Natural Tunnel, Va, on their way to load at JRL Coal's Creech loadout in Merna, VA. The train is operating as NS KH01 on trackage rights before they reach home rails at Big Stone Gap, VA, a few miles up the road. This coal train makes a few round trips a week ferrying coal from Eastern Kentucky and Southwest Virginia coal mines to Eastman Chemical's giant facility in Kingsport, Tennessee, just over the state line to the south.
Thanks for looking!
