Mountain Railroading

A Norfolk southern train of emptys roll into the yard at the coke ovens at Vansant va.

100 loads of power plant coal make their way east on the NS Dry Fork branch as the sun casts its shadows deep in the hollers of Amonate Virginia

Good pictures inspire questions:

1. How long does it take to load one car with coal?

2. How long to unload one?

I like your work.

Most coal mine that have load outs on the property use a method called flood loading where they can load a whole train of a hundred cars in about two hours
