Machinery Pushing Coal

Pushing Coal · 08:31 PM

The pushing rear end of a CSX/Duke Energy 100+ car coal train entering the Mountain Island generating plant soon to close due to emissions standards.

Nice shot. I wonder what will happen to this heavy piece of machinery.

I like it. Coal is very much used here as well (no real hydro).

Nice and nostalgic look to it.

Thanks all and Tess, the CSX loco will go right back on the mainline. Two environmental groups are suing Duke Energy for seeping coal ash from this steam plant into the water reservoir Mountain Island Lake, Charlotte, NC's water source.
