This is a well done presentation on the Pocahontas Division. This is back when coal trains where every where on the division and everything wasn't lead by a wide cab GE. This was shot during the time NS was testing SP AC44s on the pusher between Farm and Bluefield. Its an enjoyable feature with plenty of motive power variety!

Eastern coal railroading is much different from the Powder River operations. In the Pocahontas region, many trains have to be backed into mines, and therefore cabooses are used so a person can relay to the engine crew as to what to do. Helper units are also needed to assist. Steep grades and tight curves add to the excitement of the experience. This video show the great action that the Norfolk Southern had to experience in some very rough terrane.
