An Evening Descent
It's afterhours in the Alleghany Highlands of the Virginias on a cold December evening. Strong winds whip over the backbones of the ridges high above Moss Run, Virginia. The CSX Alleghany Subdivision is active with a handful of trains running east and west since noon. An eastbound loaded coal train bound for the docks of Newport News, Virginia rolls swiftly downhill towards Clifton Forge. The eastbound was held up at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, awaiting the arrival of a pair of empties to come west. After tackling the grade, CSX 394 West topped the summit inside of Alleghany Tunnel before snaking through rugged terrain before breaking back into civilization just past OX Cabin, here at Moss Run.
