This week on the Hitop….

This week on the Hitop we start out at Dickinson yard on an already sunny, hazy mid-morning. We are lucky to find GP-7 5628 and “beep” 3839 ready to depart up the valley with coal from Union Carbide’s mines on the branch proper to their plants west up the Kanawha valley. The haze and smog have really set in as we catch up to the train in the valley in the last three photos…

I have been a railfan since the age of 6, and a modeler since the age of fourteen. This is my first fully (well not quite) completed model railroad. I fell in love with trains early in life, ride them when I can, have volunteered on many steam fan trips and have ridden many more steam excursion trips, have belonged to several model rr clubs, and did a stint as a brakeman/conductor on a midwest regional railroad. My layout was published in Model Railroader magazine in 2016. I hope all of you enjoy the ride here on my site!
