Pulling Away
After pausing for photos on Oxier Creek Bridge, Clinchfield 800 & 3632 struggle to get Y101 moving again on the wet rail, with the 3632 really showing & sounding like it. What made today's train special was not only the appearance of Clinchfield 800, but for the first time in close to two years, EMD SD45 3632 was running & powering a train. With me being a sucker for any engine with a 20 cylinder motor, I was admittedly foaming quite a bit here over the sound of that engine just screaming & puking it guts out to get the train going again. With the weather for the day & the two motors up front, it really did feel like we were out on the Clinchfield. 12-31-20
