93 years and Counting

The westbound Hancock Turn, a.k.a. CSX D721, exits 93 year old Carothers Tunnel on its way back to Cumberland Yard. The crew has a nice quiet ride in the cab of Road Slug #2265 (former B&O GP30 #6902) which is mated to GP40-2 #6482. Several cars from the U.S. Silica plant in nearby Berkeley Springs, WV are in today's consist. Carothers Tunnel is the westernmost tunnel on the Cumberland Sub and is 993 feet in length.
Ed, Nice series of picture. It is a shame that you will have to slow down once you retire. Thanks for posting them. John
