The next morning we slept late, Nathan and his bunch left then I stuck my head out on the railfan balcony when I heard a horn and a chase ensued for this. These shots are behind the Wal-Mart in Welch, after it passed we tried to race it on to Farm but it was too far ahead. Jan 20, 2013 Welch, WV 11:22am |
At Farm I did shoot this guy next to the coaling tower. 11:53am |

Then back to the Inn for the typical balcony shots of Eastbounds heading up the grade to the Elkhorn Tunnel. 12:56pm |
| And yes, Dan (owner of the Inn) agrees that the trees just have to go! |  |
