Norfolk Southern Train Chase
Join us as we chase an empty coal train lead by NS SD70m-2 #2679 along the MGA Mine District from West Brownsville south through Bescoe and Mather on Sunday, October 7, 2007. Despite the first hints of fall foilage, temperatures topped 85 degrees, making the day feel more like July than October.
The MGA Mine District consists of the former Monongahela Railway. The Mon was eventually controlled by Conrail, and later became part of Norfolk Southern in 1999. CSX maintains trackage rights over the former MGA system as well, with connections in Newell, PA and Fairmont, WV.
