E319 |
| Description: |
Standing on the old platform between the CSX Chattanooga Sub main and the depot and railroad hotel buildings in Stevenson while a train passes is not for the faint of heart. Combined empty grain and coal train E319 is over eleven thousand feet long and is getting back up to track speed after meeting Q583. The tracks of Norfolk Southern's Memphis East District can be seen in the background. CSX and Norfolk Southern share tracks from Stevenson to Wauhatchie, TN on the southwest side of Chattanooga, an agreement that dates back to the days of the N.C.&St.L. and the Southern. |

Norfolk Southern 202 |
| Description: |
Norfolk Southern train 202 crosses one of the channels of the Tennessee River at Bridgeport. The bridge to the left is the original bridge over the west channel, which the city of Bridgeport has converted into a walking trail between the city and Long Island. The east (shipping) channel is spanned by a lift bridge on the other side of Long Island. That bridge was originally built in 1932 for the L & N crossing of the Tennessee River at Danville, TN on the Memphis Line. In 1980, the L & N abandoned the bridge and barged the lift spant to Bridgeport to replace the old swing bridge. Other spans from Danville were removed and reused on the Clinch River crossing near Edgemoor, TN on the KD Sub north of Knoxville. There are still several spans left at Danville to potentially be reused elsewhere in the future. |

Empty gypsum train W289 is tied down on the Sequatchie Valley wye at Bridgeport. I have no idea if the high rail crane in front of the train is operational. I think it has been parked in the same spot since the mid-1990's. |

Q583 |
| Description: |
Q583 assaults the north slope of Cumberland Mountain between MP J88 and J89. In about a half mile the train will enter the Cowan Tunnel. The gravel path to the left of the train is the old Tracy City Branch (a.k.a. the "Mountain Goat"). The two lines right of ways split at this location, with the Tracy City branch looping around and crossing over the main line on a bridge at the north portal of the tunnel and continuing up the mountain to Sewanee, Monteagle, Tracy City, Coalmont, and Palmer. The branch was removed in 1985. |
