What an aptly named loadout. 810 has jumped on the loaded train left behind from a Elmore-based "U" crew from earlier this morning. The road crew has traveled up here from Bluefield and there still some more patience to be had as they have to pull the train north and pull the caboose up to the conductor to allow him to ride the shove down the Cub Creek Branch.

 

I definitely sympathize with the need to pull the train ahead honestly. In the two hours of time to kill waiting for the crew arrive on my last day in West Virginia, I made the trek down to the caboose. It was not easy at all to get to from the road. Especially on a sloppy cold and wet Fall day...
