Sad state where Clifton Forge is today! That special Amtrak movement is where my Dad hit the boulder on Christmas Eve night in the New River Gorge while on the Westbound Cardinal! It derailed the entire train but nothing on its side. I was stationed in West Berlin then and it made the Stars and Stripes newspaper. That was the rerailed train being towed back to wherever! South Charleston! Small and quaint yet many a day there as a kid. Always loved the bridge across tha Kanawha, the car shops in Elk, the single stall engine house. And the fact that in early to mid 70s nothing but Geep 7s or 9s working the yard! Great video!

Chessie System had one of the most striking paint schemes of that era. Still one of the best. Conrail was also great.
