NS Lynnwood, VA
An empty utility coal train passes the Norfolk and Western color position lights at Lewis Run on its way north in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Counterpart loaded trains operate in a 2X2 distributed power configuration from southwest Pennsylvania to steam plants in North Carolina via Roanoke. N&W installed US&S color position light block signals on this route in the 1920s. Norfolk Southern is replacing those left with modern equipment.
