N&W 611, Old Fort, NC - a photo on Flickriver

            N&W 611, NS 8099 and SOU 6133 ease downgrade as they haul NS 957, the "Blue Ridge Special" down the famous, Southern built loops at the foot of the Black Mountains near Old Fort, North Carolina. I wouldn't have thought of this spot without the help of Zack, Larry and Jacob. Shout out to you guys for scouting this amazing spot!
