This week on the Hitop found us following the Nitro turn coming up to Spring Street and swapping trains with the Spring Street turn out of Dickinson. We followed the Nitro turn after switching out Paxton Salvage, Allied Chemical, and Holsum Baking. Photos below of this action:

In the meantime, the Spring Street turn with engine 7394 came up from Dickinson with tank cars for both Allied and Holsum. Here below are photos of him in Spring Street working:

An overall great day of catching train action in the Kanawha Valley!

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!
