Vance Tunnel

After holding for a northbound ethanol empty, geometry train W001 throttles up out of the siding at S.E. Toe River, framed up perfectly within the portals of the very short Vance Tunnel. It’ll be sad to see these Clinchfield-era signals fall, but that may be happening soon due to the ongoing rehabilitation of the Blue Ridge Sub. Altapass, NC, 9/26/2025.
