A NF&D brakeman waves the power from a westbound freight back to its train at Lawrenceville, VA on April 16, 1979. Some things you never forget. The train had just made a set off on the track on the far side of the power. The track was so bad that the wheels were sinking into the ground and the units pitching in opposite directions so badly that the drawheads were binding. I learned, from a distance, just how bad the track could get and the train not derail!
