Louisville & Nashville U30CXR at Corbin, KY

A Louisville & Nashville coal train sits at Corbin, KY in 1972.  The crew prepares to move with their tonnage.  Today's lead locomotive is a new offering from General Electric, the predecessor to the Dash-7 series, an "Extra Reliable-XR Series" U30CXR locomotive. 
"Highball" sounds, and the locomotive rolls.  Another coal train makes its way toward the Ohio River.
