> On Today 1-30-2018 Around 5pm an east bound Norfolk Southern train was
looking
just like a steam engine.. The second unit in the consist was shooting up
super-high
flames of fire and hugh-gulps of gigantic smoke while east bound thru
Upland,Elkhorn,
Switchback & Maybeury,West Virginia In McDowell County, By the time it
arrived in
Bluefield,WV Mercer County around 6pm there were no longer any flames of
fire or smoke..
As a veteran Railroad Photographer It was both dramatic and scary at the
same time.
