Norfolk Southern Unit Coal Train in Welch, WV

A Norfolk Southern loaded coal train, fresh out of the mines, gets a grip up the hill as it passes eastbound on the Pocahontas Division through the outskirts of Welch, West Virginia. The train in this video is seen crossing a trestle into the famous Hemphill Tunnel. This tunnel was recently upgraded for double-stack servie by RJ. Corman and Norfolk Southern, this is all part of the Heartland Corridor project. The crew on this train was also very friendly, saluting us with an interesting horn show. LRF Video Productions

Awesome Video! I live in Tennessee and have a railroad right in front of my house. Norfolk Southern runs all hours and my 4yr old grandson loves it! We have a family owned funeral home so during the day when not busy my grandson wants to watch trains videos on my computer.  He loved this one! Great Job! Thank you for posting!
