This is the arrival of a Norfolk Southern in Fayetteville from Raleigh, NC. Many loads if not all for Aberdeen & Rockfish. The grain cars are going to Cleanburn out past Arabia. I hope you enjoy the video.
Didn't realize they had filed for bankruptcy...hope that doesn't mean the end of all that traffic... bad blow for A&R...interesting for the little ATW to get from FV to Fayetteville... surprised A&R didn't try to get it... is there still good traffic for Goodyear?
I lived in Fayettville for six years, and could see and hear the NS line from where I lived. It's amazing to see such long trains now with so much power... usually all you saw going into the Old Yard was like ten or fewer cars and two older Geeps...now long trains with six axle GEs and EMDs...looks they upgraded the ties on the line too
@ashley2771 The long trains have stopped now for the fact that Clean burn filed for bankruptcy protection. So the grain trains dried up, overnight. My understanding is the ATW bought this line from NS, I haven't been able to confirm yet.

@ashley2771 Still good traffic for Goodyear. NS still has good traffic for A&R, even without Clean Burn.
