Tennessee River Crossing
On a splendid late spring afternoon an empty rail train symboled W018-12 makes its way north near MP 275.9 on CSXT's KD Sub (ex Louisville and Nashville mainline) crossing the Tennessee River on the 1051 ft. long camel back truss bridge built in 1934 and modified and rebuilt in 1966.
A nice looking slug set is in charge with mother unit CSXT 6409 (EMD GP40-2 blt. Jan. 1978 as CO 4271 in Chessie System paint) and slug CSXT 2226 (rebuilt from an EMD GP30 originally blt. Oct. 1962 as BO 6909). Alas since the date of this photo the slug has been sold to LTEX with a future unknown.
At the time I was on business to Atlanta and took the opportunity to railfan in a part of the world I'd never visited before. It was much different than Alaska but certainly had its own special appeal...
