Car exchange JWB with C&O

[Lester Perry]

JohnB sent me Burlington Northern CB&Q 8299 box car. Its destination is Railway Express Agency,R.E.A. Located at Clifton forge on my layout. The first appearance on my layout passing WH cabin, this is as it comes out of a hidden yard. It is the first car in the FFV (fast flying Virginian ) passenger train.



Here it is passing behind a farm house probably shaking the dishes in the cabinet. It is running full steam at this point as it is at the base of a 2% grade.



Now the Berkshire 2760 is earning her keep. Pulling heavy weight coaches up through the mountains.



Now it is crossing Mud river.



Continuing along going through Barboursville. You can see the destination in the back ground.



Even the local law makes an appearance.



Still moving along.



You can see the coal cars at the Guyanne Power company and some old buildings behind it as it continues on its trip.



Just a few photos as it moves along.








It is now approaching REA. I will continue this at a later time.
