and on the same day at Chattaroy, VA. On one of my trips to WV, either Kodak or the U.S. Postal Service lost an entire 36-exposure roll of Kodachrome with numerous shots of N&W power at Bluefield and on the road. :(

A few days later on the former N&W main at Broderland, WV on 04/12/1988 when position light signals still stood proudly. [Kodachrome, Nikon N2020, Nikkor 80-200]

Same day, 04/10/1988 at Meadow Creek, WV.

Thank you. I seem to recall that CW did indeed meet its fate, sometime recently. I'll bet you're right on the other two things as well. :( I took this slide the same day as the other.

You live in a beautiful area. It's been many years since I visited there. Caught this 04/10/1988 at CW Cabin just west of Hinton. [Kodachrome, Nikon N2020, Nikkor 43-86mm]

Wow, probably a challenging wreck to clear, hard up against the New River and all? Glad that no crewmen were seriously injured.

I'm guessing that if you have a lot of photos, a link to flickr might work best. However, that's just my preference and others may think differently.

03/21/1997 at Franconia, AZ [Kodachrome, Nikon N2020, Nikkor 80-200]

A western interloper at Montgomery, AL, March 1990. Kodachrome, Nikon N2020.

Thank you. The shot was just dumb luck. My wife and I were furniture shopping and when I went to the car to retrieve my tape measure, I heard a horn. I brought the Nikon along, so I was all set. Oh, also found that the chair my wife likes won't fit in the Volkswagen. :unsure: :) Maybe I...

Today's P75 at Batesburg-Leesville, SC. Just a short train that runs a local route. Light was kind of weird. [D5100]

NS calendar shot there! (y)

That's very cool and I spy a B&O Colored Position Light signal with a marker lamp on that signal bridge! These are becoming very rare.

Wow, such a fine old railcar to capture, one that's approaching a century of service. Sperry knew a good thing when they found it. (y)

Yeah, CSX had taken a lot of heat for their amalgamation of old and new. I was careful to capture the side, as a frontal shot would look like a few thousand other units on the CSX system! :)

An early present on Christmas Eve, CSX's 1976 Conrail Heritage Unit at Columbia, SC. CSX is adding special paint to a series of locomotives to celebrate the heritage of the railroads merged into CSX. The locomotive numbers reflect the year the railroads were founded. This is the first Heritage...

A nice shot on what looks like a nice day. I've not been out much and what few shots I've taken are terrible. Not sure what the deal is, but the railroads insist on running trains without regard to composition and lighting. 😑

From 03/21/1996 at Poplar, NC on the former Clinchfield. Brrrr! [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome]

Some years ago, we had good success recovering photos from a defective SD card using RescuePRO. We paid for the software, but it was worth it. It looks like they now have a free trail. SanDisk Recovery Software

From 02/21/1987 at Melrose, NC. The train had just descended what was at the time, the steepest mainline railroad grade in the U.S., known as the Saluda Grade. The average climb was 4-1/4% over three miles, with one stretch nearing 5%. This is serious stuff in railroading. Sadly, Norfolk...
