CSX Clinchfield Erwin Tn 1.15.2011

A week after the south got dumped on by over a foot of snow I finally managed to get out and do some "snow shots". Stopping in Asheville on my way to "Clinchfield Country" yielded no decent shots with the morning sun. A few minutes after pulling into my favorite spot at South Erwin this coal drag got a green signal to start its trip to Bostic, NC. Was a great day to shoot stills in Erwin.
The return trip also had a detour through Asheville to catch an ex-Conrail SD40 as well as HLCX 7091 in BN Cascade Green on P31 returning from Canton.

Yes, this was shot from Hemlock St......one of my favorite places to chill....watch trains and shoot some too..(how many CSX coal drags can one shoot though)

Fair warning.......DO NOT CROSS the tracks there for any reason......NS2589 and myself almost got hauled in for a visit to the Unicoi County jail.
