Hello,
I'm from Ohio and may be venturing to the Huntington, WV area at the end of the month. Having never explored this area before, I'd like to get to know each crosstie by it's last name prior to going. I know Amtrak runs "The Cardinal" through Huntington on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, according to Amtrak.com. On the east-west former B&O line, you should receive trains Q316 and Q317, along with whatever coal trains are running. Now then, aside from this, how busy would the New River Sub. be? I know the Cardinal goes through New River Sub. What daily trains (scheduled trains) go through the New River Sub. I have heard several grain trains, coal trains and mixed freight trains daily? And about how many in 24 hours? Same applies for Norfolk Southern in this area. How busy are they? How many trains in 24 hours? Thanks in advance.
In addition to the railfanning portion of this trip, I'd like to go shoot some stuff around the Huntington, WV Locomotive Shops. According to the Bull Sheet, CSX 9119, 9120 and 9122 are located there. I'd like to shoot them before their demise. Along with this, we will journey up the river 20 miles to check Russell out. I am interested in both of these locations. So anyways, thanks in advance for the help.
