| Title: |
Phosphate train |
| Description: |
One of the sporadic moves to run on the D&H was a phosphate train that originated in Floridas Bone Valley on CSX. It was usually symbolled 751, and had run through CSX power. This time, its a pair of Seaboard System SD 40-2s, which we see behind a pair of GATX lease units at the north end of Dyes Siding, which was on the grade about a mile south of Belden Tunnel. It has since been removed, thought the signal mast remains. |

| Title: |
Almost dark |
| Description: |
In late September of 1984, I rode a NW 611 trip from Lexington KY to Chattanooga and return. On Saturday, the trip reached Chattanooga just about dark, but not dark enough to stop me from shooting this Seaboard System northbound that met us as we backed into the station. |

| Title: |
Empties and a GP 30 |
| Description: |
Unlike todays constant parade of six axle monsters, the 1980s found all manner of power on coal trains. Though good to see, it was not a total surprise to find a GP 30 on this 142 car empty coal train headed back to the mines. |
