Nice shot Gary!

Agreed. Although looking west from four steps back and watching a pair of new Chessie SD50s coming downgrade with coal is something I don't think can be matched today. You can certainly see why the C&O company and railfan photographers through the decades went there.

Totally agree. Nothing we will do today or in the future will ever match that

Wow, that really IS a nice place. It's naturally framed and looks good even without a train.

About how many trains per day (daylight) through there?

Nice location. It remembers me some locations on MRS railroad here in Brazil.

How many trains a day you ask...
Scheduled 2 or 3... 2 scheduled mixed freights and the Amtrak Cardinal on the days it runs. HOWEVER, the name of the game on this line is coal, grain/feed, and chemical/potash/sulfur trains (and their empties) which could be from zero to ten. Line is also detour route for intermodal occasionally.
