NS 1092 EMD SD70ACe - 863 - Crum
A pair of Norfolk Southern SD70ACe's lead a southbound empty coal train out of Tunnel number 4 on the Kenova District, and into the flash of light provided by @mtnclimberjoe. Between Kenova and Delmore, the Kenova district has 7 active tunnels, each of which has its own personality. Tunnel 5 is a "new" bore as it was built to accommodate stack trains on the realigned section between tunnel 7 and tunnel 4, bypassing the old tunnel 6 and 5. Tunnel 4 seen here, is the orginal bore but has been heightened to accommodate stack trains.
After chasing a southbound grain train from Kenova to Williamson in the morning, the rest of the day was fairly dead until dispatch lined 3 southbounds out of Star Yard. One was a coal train that we chased south while the sun was still up, ending here at Tunnel 4 where we waited for the next two southbounds.
