NS 4137 GE AC44C6M - 591 - Port Perry
NS 4137 GE AC44C6M - 591 - Port Perry

In the last few minutes of light on a sunny March evening, empty Norfolk Southern coal train 591 emerges from the Port Perry tunnel and crosses the bridge over the Monongahela River as a westbound CSX loaded coal train dodges shadows underneath. It was quite the treat to get an over under here, and even more of a treat for both trains to be coal trains in 2023.

After the RPM meet in Youngwood ended for the evening, a friend and I decided to head up to Greensburg to do some railfanning before heading back towards the city. As soon as we pulled up, this 591 was there. We decided that this would be a good train to chase, and we beat them to CP-Wing where they stopped momentarily to let a westbound out of Pitcairn. After reaching the "overlook" here at Port Perry, it was only a matter of minutes until a headlight came out of the tunnel. While I was lining up the shot, I saw movement in the bottom right corner of the viewfinder, and I could hardly believe our luck.
