Hi, Here are the remaining CPLs we photographed. Our first location in Roanoke (on 10/6) had CPLs to the east. We photographed 15T arriving off the Shenandoah Valley line with the stacks of the car shops in the background and then
with the old N&W office building as a prop.
Later #757 arrived off the Winston-Salem line with the LV heritage unit third out.
Our last train of the day was of stack train #217 at Montgomery Tunnel.
Our next pictures of CPLs were obtained on 10/7 at Ada, WV, just east of Bluefield, featuring #272.
Later in the day we caught a WB empty hopper train at Willowton, WV.
On 10/8 we photographed #185 at Bluedfield, VA.
We were back at Willowton, WV on 10/9 for an eastbound and then
at Farm, WV with helpers shoving an EB grain train.
That concludes the CPL portion. Since it is short I thought I would start on my favorites from the trip. Here a WB stack train is passing the Christiansburg, VA station.
Later in the day an EB coal drag soars over Oakvale, WV on former Virginian trackage. In about 3 1/2 miles it will join the former N&W main at PD.
The next post will contain the rest of my favorites. I hope you enjoyed the photos.
