The previous Deepwater coal train was an 874 and departed very early in the morning on the same day. Here is a photo of the power in Deepwater on the 3rd.

The rarest of all that is rare, NS 502, ran early this morning with NS 9414, 2734, 6942, and 9516. The consist originally had three engines until the 6942 developed a problem, necessitating the need to pick up an extra engine at Abrams. Due to work, I only had one chance to catch them which was at Folsom. Box car on the siding is for Atlantic Sweetener.

Great catch, John! Who knows how many more 502's there will be (if this wasn't the last one).......nice job.

WPCA51 ran the loaded 780 coal train from Beesley's Point today. This is the second train exporting coal from the closed plant and could possibly be one of the last times coal will ever be moved on the line again.

The end of an era...thanks for documenting John, you and Ben and Bob are always in the right place at the right time. Hopefully the Bees can somehow survive....
