Part Two..

After we had shot the 223 at Moreland, he manged to slip down and stall on the grade at Kings Mountain. Train M70 (Northbound) had to cut off and go drag them up the hill, allowing us to get down to Waynesburg to shoot them

Train M70's power passes a old farm house at Waynesburg Ky, after pulling a underpowered 223 up Kings Mountain



the power from train M70 crosses over from #2 to #1, in behind his train at Waynesburg Ky.



By the time the 223 mess got cleared up, 229 was already setting near Waynesburg. We moved down towards Gradison for a few.

After getting some delay at Kings Mountain due to a stalled 223, Southbound 229 rolls down Two track at Gradison Ky



Snow and fog fill the air as train M67 starts through Coon Hollow dip at Gradison KY.

Northbound train 230 flys over the roller coaster at Gradison KY



230 powers North into the gathering snowstorm at Gradison Ky



The last stop of the day was at Kings Mountain., The snow and sleet was really coming down by now, and we shot Two more trains before begining the slow trip home.
