RCF_1430-SharpenAI-Softness
The last time I checked, this spot is grown up with trees on the outside of the curve. Highway construction that required a new railroad bridge over four-lane US 23 plus realignment resulted in (for a time) a clear view of Southern's Appalachia Division main on the climb from the low bridge over Copper Creek to the former station location at Speers Ferry, Va. On November 13, 1993, CSX Nos. 7680, 7913, and 7518 have a 90-car unit coal train hanging off the rear knuckle of the 7518. Three four-motor units are shoving on the rear of the heavy train up the 1.8 percent grade.
