Article #71; The Coal Trains

 

The Danville County Railroad layout has a lot of trains that run on it, but some of the most common trains that show up on the layout are the coal trains. Loaded and Empty trains run up and down. The photo above shows Norfolk Southern SD60M 6800 backing a empty coal train into the Grovemont Yard. The loaded trains appear at the same location as right here while the empty trains d a run around with the power so the cars or car can head into the yard before the engines/engine.
