Erwin's Reliable

Erwin, Tennessee, has been a railroad hub for nearly a century, and at one point was the centralized command center for the Clinchfield Railroad until it was gobbled up into the Family Lines System in 1972. Today, it sees a little more life than it had in more recent years past and has stood as a rebuild hub for the massive Blue Ridge reconstruction following Hurricane Helene's devastating blow in September of 2024. With through freight back on the menu, M652 awaits a fresh crew early on the morning of New Years Eve, led by none other than the Old Reliable.
