What I assume to be KN33 heads south down the former WV Secondary, aiming for a turn at Deep Water down the former Virginian towards Elmore. KNWA uses NS run thru power most often and supplements the climb up from Deep Water with their second hand SD60 models. This is the rear 4 units out of six, giving a soft push past the load out at Mammoth. This load originated at Quincy, located right at the east end of Dickinson Yard outside of Charleston, WV.

The going starts to get tough in the next 7 miles.
