Nice work on a ugly day.  Bluefield has some very photogenic areas.  I always loved the shot near the engine house, with the coal towers and the N&W lubritorium. 

Is that scary old iron truss bridge over the yard still standing??

Both of the old metal truss bridges over the yard are still there.

The last time I was over there was in 04, and while shooting off one of those bridges, we noticed the interesting method of bridge repair used, and it stuck in my mind :)
