[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 688229, member: 10543"] Went out yesterday to see what I could find on NS's "Loops" east of Asheville, unaware that a mudslide had shut down the railroad for the day. I packed it in late in the afternoon and drove to the bottom of the grade at Old Fort to look around and found evidence of trouble. I saw a damaged lead unit being serviced, then headed up the grade and found a four unit set had arrived from Asheville to assist the stranded train down to Old Fort. Here's the 7257 with mud on her pilot and hoses sheared off: [ATTACH=CONFIG]302433._xfImport[/ATTACH] One of the units in the set brought in from Asheville was the SOU Heritage Unit! I'd not seen this one before. I had to shoot it through the trees with diminishing light, but I was happy to get [I]any[/I] kind of shot of her.
