Locomotives down on their knees. Nothing like heavy mountain railroading.

We are on the heavy grades on the ex-N&W Pocahontas Division. Coal is still king here, and lots of horsepower is needed on the front, and rear of the train. After a three unit set of helpers drifts downgrade to meet its next shove, We catch a heavy eastbound coal drag at the signal. NS #6503-#8626, leads the train, with three units shoving hard on the rear. Just as the units get to the camera, another set of westbound helpers heads downgrade for another push to Bluefield. We are at Maybeury, WV. 2/22/1992
