Forging at Kenova
NS 8103 forges through an intense downpour as it navigates coke empties across the Ohio River at Kenova. The bridge at Kenova is one of the signature locations of the former N&W, and catching the heritage unit here was an absolute delight. The train was combined with an empty coal drag at Portsmouth before heading into the heart of the Pocahontas.
I encountered 8103 by pure chance. As I drove Eastward on Route 823 for home, I noticed a headlight for an opposing train (as one often does on this stretch of road). I was only mildly interested until the blue and yellow of the N&W heritage unit blew by me at track speed. I made a frantic U-turn and raced it back to Kenova, beating it by only a couple of minutes
