Description

A CSXT rock runner rolls west with what appears to be a former L&N or Clinchfield SD40-2 and a CW40-8. Unfortunately, the light is not very good here. I'm not sure of the train's ID, but given the fact that only four rock trains run this line as needed, this would have to be either Q765 or Q767. Best guess is that this train is going to take the Piedmont Subdivision through Doswell later in the night. Nice aggregate hoppers!

*To extend the story, we basically were heading back from Airport Road and heading east on U.S. Route 60 when I saw a green colorlight. I tried to get my mom to pull over somewhere, but was unsuccessful. My buddy Colin and I arrived at the McDonald's by the tracks, and could see the "clear" way down the tracks. After waiting 20+ minutes, the light changed to "stop", causing me to think that an eastbound was coming instead of a westbound. This is double track, but it changes to single track just up the line. This train showed up anyway, and as I looked down the track, it got a red-over-green (called a "slow clear" on the former C&O), and the train continued on its way, crossing over to the other track.*
