Throttle Up at Miley
Title:  Throttle Up at Miley
Description:  Monday morning on the Hampton & Branchville. Four GP9s have picked up a unit coal train from the CSX at Hampton and are taking it to the power plant at Canadys. The quartet of Geeps certainly sound healthy- to paraphrase what the crossing guard told me "they aren't much to look at, but they run great". The road's shop is located behind the train. I note where this shot has been nicked and placed on a web page under another person's photo credit.

HOWLIN'
Title:  HOWLIN'
Description:  Four Hampton & Branchville GP9s are running flat out as they pull a unit coal train towards the power plant at Canadys SC. 6249 is assisted by 5943, 859 and 667, obviously with Chessie and N&W backgrounds. The road has roughly 18 months left at this point.
