Well, I had to search through my files all the way back to December 16th, 2008 to find a photograph of a train in the snow close to Christmas Day here in Western Kentucky.
Today’s current temperature here in Richland, Ky is 70 degrees, a far cry from the day I captured this southbound intermodal (Q025 in today’s traffic, but not sure back then) as it makes its way through the single tracked S curve at Nortonville, KY on the Henderson Subdivision.
Today this section has been double tracked from just south of Mortons Gap to just north of Mannington, Ky. A big improvement in the flow of trains through this area.
