Viewing Album:  Chilly Bluefield, WV
 
By:George C Johnson
Dates:10/26/2006 - 10/29/2006
Album Info:Well, we travelled to southern WV to photograph trains on the Norfolk Southern Pocahontas Subdivision (see album: Dreary Pocahontas). Of course, the sun came out AFTER we left, so we stopped in Bluefield, WV, the home of a large NS yard and engine facility (among other things). Of course, no trains we moving (hence the poem in the aforementioned album). Anyway, despite the chilly late-October wind, I took a few good shots as we passed through. No doubt, all the trains came out of hiding right after we left. Pleasae forgive what appears to be duplication--I like to take pictures of the same subject from different angles. [GCJ]
