Eastern Railroad Discussion > Empty buckets/loaded buckets...coal that is.

Been busy with the neurologist regarding my PPMS as well as with work. Finally had the time to download some photos. First two pictures are of the NS 547 from April 30, 2022 in Alliance, Ohio. Picture number three is of the 24Z also from Alliance...

Last two of NS 740. Kind of surprised that coal still moving as of late I have seen quite a few loaded coal trains; thought the current administration wanted to slowly get away from fossil fuels? Nice to see that industry still producing. Have a good week all...

The LV heritage unit images are spot on excellent.  Nice to image that it is a 21st century incarnation of the Valley hauling coal in PA.  Having a dis-similar paint scheme for the 2nd unit makes it all the more LV like.

The LV photos are my favorites. Great job.

740 is for a power plant(s)...they are routing them your way, then south/southeast instead of down through Pa....

There is still demand for export coal.
