T beat me to it. Specifics: westbound entering the yard at RU Cabin taken from the RRYMCA parking lot. Mmmmmm, lots of yummy meals in that place.

you mean GP39's? The ex-RDG GP39-2's are mostly based out of the Tampa FL area.
Russell KY has the ex-C&O GP39/slug combos there :)

My fondest memory at Russell was shortly after finishing a fine meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and fresh baked yeast rolls. I went out on the front porch of the "Y" to chat with some friends and we listened to N&W 1218 pass through Ironton across the river. That "hooter" whistle sounded great!

Smallville Junction?

Gonut

When the rail gang was stationed in the Russell yard, which it was in both 1983 and 1984; I and many others would abandon the camp kitchen car and eat at the Y. My fondest memory of the Russell Y was, after their delicious meals or course, going downstairs and watching the participants in the Jazzercize classes held in the basement.

I just love Russell, and I am just lucky enough to live in Russell! Well Ashland, but almost Russell. I have some other pics, but Don't want to post them because it would turn into a photo album.
