B&O CPL signal, July 2005
Title:  B&O CPL signal, July 2005
Description:  This CPL (color position light) signal has controlled trains on CSX's former B&O line along the Ohio River for many years. This view looks west on a very warm July day in 2005 (I don't remember the exact date). Compare this view with the photo of this same signal in my album of scenery along this Ohio River subdivision, taken seven years later (2012). This photo was originally taken in a vertical format.

Unknown 0-4-0T steam switch engine
Title:  Unknown 0-4-0T steam switch engine
Description:  This has to be one of the most forlorn or saddest photos I ever took. It's good that this steamer has survived--thousands of other steam engines were cut up for scrap in the 50's and earlier. But it doesn't (didn't) have a cab, it's anybody's guess when it was last painted, and rust seems to be taking its toll. This engine was part of the exhibit in western Huntington, WV and may still be there--I haven't been to that part of the city in several years.

CSX 453, looking west
Title:  CSX 453, looking west
Description:  CSX 453 and another six-axle GE bring hopper cars along Second Avenue in Huntington, WV on a July afternoon. The floodwall, built around 1947, is to the right (north) of the engine, and the Ohio River is about 300 yards further away. During this era (2005), there were at least two separate rail-to-river coal handling facilities. One is just to the left of this photo, with a multi-track yard and formerly a GE 45-tonner switch engine to handle the movement. I don't remember that company's name. About a mile behind this train, and in fact it may have been coming away from there, was a similar operation owned by the Ohio River Company. They had at one time several Alco units, including an S-2, RS-1 (since scrapped, according to a friend who used to work there), and a C-415! Sadly, that operation is no more, as all the tracks in that yard were taken up sometime between 2005 and 2012.

CSX 453, close-up of cab view
Title:  CSX 453, close-up of cab view
Description:  Here is a close-up of the cab, showing the number, lightning bolt (which used to signify the engine was radio-equipped), the GE Model number or class and a small American flag. The lines of separation between the paint colors are very crisp.
