Grinding Away
An empty grain train emerges from Jarrett's Tunnel deep in the mountains between Old Fort and Asheville, NC on the 'Southern Loops'. Through trains were removed from this route in May of 2020, in favor of longer but less-mountainous routings. However in the last 3 months or so once a blue moon Norfolk Southern will send a "mainline train" up the loops to Asheville and on to Knoxville. Something once done many times per day is now done, at best, a few times per month.
