Caption: Part One - ARRIVAL OF 514
On a cold and bitter January day, the sun was peaking out, but in very short spurts.
Both 7068 and 4705 went right to work. With a larger than normal cut of cars, both engines were working hard, switching out the large ADM facility. To the right, the trucks sit for the Apollo Group (property management and other services, I assume for moving?). Kind of ironic, that increased truck usage would ultimately reduce rail traffic. Nonetheless, these trailers are idle this day.
To the left (and out of frame), are two items now since removed. See that wooden walkway that crosses both tracks? This is where the old C&O Blenheim station once stood (you can see Bill Thomson's photo by clicking here. Also, the former Thompsons facility (now the Anderson's). They had an old tonner, that until recently sat on one of the sidings within the property.
