deep water
It has been a long Halloween’s Eve in West Virginia and the KNWA finally has a loaded train on the move. It was a simple goal to catch something moving along the Virginian between Deep Water and Mullens on this trip. Not the easiest thing in the world, and given the frequency with which NS road power tags along, I’d ask myself what exactly the allure was all about.
Regardless, the excitement was building the whole time downriver from when he left the Quincy loadout. It is late in the afternoon and the Kanawha River crossing here at Deep Water will be the last solid spot at sunlight. It is quite the intense climb up the hillsides towards Oak Hill. Tunnels, bridges, tuff curvature all lie ahead.
