Very interesting series of photos. Photo #3 in the 12 January series shows some close clearance between the locomotive and the loaded coal hoppers.

Nice series of photos.  I especially liked how the old buildings in pics 1 and 4 provide for an interesting background.  Very well done.  Also liked your shot by the Keyser station.  Is the Keyser station being used for any purpose?  Thanks.

The "Greaser" still uses the building to store his supplies for the track greasers in the area.
