An East bound Coal train on the James River Viaduct at Richmond , VA heading towards Newport News from where it will be shipped for exports. On the left side can be seen the famous Jefferson Hotel where the movie 'Gone with the Wind' was shot. The two Units in YN2 Paint scheme were still fairly common.
I'm on a mission, perhaps not attainable, to shoot all of the SD70s before they are rebuilt into those wide cab abominations. I'm not sure I'll get it done but we'll see.
Here's one of those spartan cab 70s, of the ex-Conrail variety, pulling mixer 10G into Enola Yard with a cut of Camrail exports fresh out of the GE plant in Erie.
Both of these, the standard cab and the Erie exports are on borrowed time. A two for one!
Under a crazy sky, exports bound for Egypt make their way east under the old N&W coaling tower in Vicker, VA behind an ES44AC.

Para dejar y compartir nada mas que es uno de los export wizard que utilice en la foto de las hojas de la morera.
The wharf in Coupeville Washington was built in 1905 to export grain produced on Whidbey Island. The town sits on Penn Cove, a sheltered bay that provided a safe, sheltered harbor during the early settlement of the area. In 1792 Capt. George Vancouver named the harbor in honor of, as he wrote, “a particular friend.” It is thought that the person honored was either John or Richard Penn, both of whom were grandsons of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania.
Before European settlement, 3 permanent villages inhabited by the Lower Skagit People were located around Penn Cove. The largest village called at bəc̓adᶻali, or “snake place" occupied the site of present day town of Coupeville.
Cmdr. Charles Wilkes of the US Navy charted the small bay in 1841. Wilkes was the American born great nephew of the former Lord Mayor of London John Wilkes. He led US Expeditions to the South Pacific (including Antarctica) and Puget Sound. He was an important and controversial naval leader during the Civil War and ended his career with the rank of Rear Admiral (retired).
In 1850 Issac Neff Ebey became one of the first non-native American settlers and farmers in the area. Others soon followed and made land claims as provided by the Donation Land Act of 1850. Also, in 1850 Captain Thomas Coupe laid out a town on the shores of Penn Cove which today bears his name, Coupeville. It became the center of commerce for the Island, an important port, and during the late 1800s, home to many active and retired sea captains and mariners.
The wharf is a contributing property to the Central Whidbey Island Historic District which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. To better protect the unique history and landscape, Coupeville and its wharf was included in Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve in 1978. This one-of-a-kind unit of the National Park System preserves and protects the historical record of the exploration and settlement of central Whidbey Island from 19th century to the present.

A loaded taconite train is tied on the Keenan Sub. and will eventually head south on the CN system for Louisiana and forwarding on as export cargo. The rear unit is seen here across a snow-covered field northwest of Northgate near the Keenan Yard
Turning the clock back half a century and more when diminutive saddle tanks busied themselves around the dockside at Workington, on 31st March 2001, 1885-built Robert Heath 0-4-0 saddle tank 'No.6' moves a consignment of rail brought by the private railway from Corus' works to the dockside, to be loaded and shipped to Waterford in the Republic of Ireland. The locomotive and crew were on loan for a photographic charter, the rail transfer between steelworks and port normally undertaken by a diesel loco.

A heavy loaded export ore train (CN U724) dips at the Amnicon River at Rockmont on the CN Superior Subdivision mainline. The train is starting to grind up the grade that crests at Hines. Good thing CN double-tracked the mainline here - it certainly makes a big difference with getting trains out of the Lake Superior Basin. For reference, the original mainline is on the left while the newer is to the right with a slight jog.
While the Export Coal train runs no more I pulled this shot from the archives from a couple of summers ago. The three MAC are the DP units on this southbound coal train with three more up front. While it certainly doesn't look like all this horsepower is necessary it will be before long as to get to Seward the railroad must climb Grandview & Divide Hills both with grades around 3%. That is pretty steep even for a short 70 car coal train.
