"I need to get back to the Gap this fall. It's only been 40 years! But the railroad's been gone that long, so I shouldn't expect to hear a trio of orange and black SD40-2's in full Grunt mode moving train #201 past the elevators at Roxboro. I can accept that. But sometimes it's important to go pay tribute to the departed as part of your journeys."

Great shot, timeless!
I stopped there back in '95, and both elevators were still standing, so I got a pic almost in the exact spot.
Was pretty quiet there though......
Been pretty quiet since 1980.
Dano
Yeah...
