The Interstate First Hill crew was backing from Dorchester Junction, Va. to the Red River Coal loadout in Dorchester with 45 empty Silverside gons on March 3, 1985. The old Dorchester Branch would soon be abandoned, with the wooden trestle and the Business US 23 bridge replaced by a fill. The track in the foreground is the main between Andover and Norton. Until the mid-30s, the at-grade crossing was protected by an interlocking tower in the lower left foreground. Under NS, this spot was later identified as "DNOR" as a block location.
