1) September 4 2010 in the final days of regular single stack operation for what is now known as the Heartland Corridor I made it a point to get NS train 234 passing through the broad reverse curves on the former N & W Columbus District at Waverly Ohio where the depot would have been.
2) August 27 2010 a week earlier my friend and I took a trip to look at the final tunnel work for the Heartland Corridor. Later in the day we got NS 234 crossing the former N & W bridge across the Ohio River into Kenova West Virginia.

Here's my initial contest entry. This was taken on December 29, 1996 at Kings Mountain (KY) on the CNO&TP. On the left is 116, holding on Track 2. Coming out of the hole, upgrade, is southbound intermodal 215. The engineer on 215 has his headlight dimmed and the ditch lights off for the meet.

The date is mid-August 2004, and a string of RoadRailers crosses the Ohio River bridge (southbound) after departing Gest Street Yard. Trains of 100+ "boxes" are common on the Rathole, and this one seems to go on and on. It's only 338 miles to Chattanooga!
