Thread The Needle
Southbound CSX junker M543 is moving over Crooked Hill at a good clip behind ES44AH number 825 as it navigates one of the most interesting locations on the CC Sub, a remote spot known as Orlando. Here, an almost immediate succession of bridges and tunnels let the L&N's Cincinnati to Atlanta mainline take the easy route through the Kentucky mountains. 825's nose is popping out of the 912-foot Tunnel 14, framed by the portal of Tunnel 15, a 105-foot "needle eye" passing through a narrow ridge. Between the two lies a 187-foot deck girder bridge over Roundstone Creek, and behind the camera is a 202-foot curved span over another branch of the same stream. Certainly one of the coolest places to watch trains I've ever been!
