CSXT 4821 South at S.E. Allen
Surrounded by Clinchfield antiques, CSXT 4821 South thunders up Sandy Ridge grade through S.E. Allen with a tonnage Q696. The sound a wound out 710 prime mover makes echoing through the hollers of coal country isn’t something You forget!
The track in the foreground is the derail protected Allen Extension; used for decades by the various Dante Mine Runs to facilitate movement of empties, or raw and clean loads between Dickenson & Pike county mines and preparation plants. It was removed in 2024.
