Not NW but,

[NW Mailing List]

We visited Erwin, TN this afternoon knowing that a few weeks ago CSXT
announced they would be closing their operations there but were unprepared
for how swiftly everything has been moved off and out of the yards. No coal
moves through anymore and it won't be long before the weeds take over. A
real ghost location on the former once great Clinchfield. Also, the folly
of building a flyover bridge (Rt 107) (to eliminate motorists having long
waits when trains block the crossings leading to Main St.) is a stark
reminder of the dying coal industry.

Attached photos illustrate the scene at this moment.
