Milwaukee 201 At Roxboro

Blair says:

"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."

August 29, 1978.

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......
