The empties return N&W to Lynchburg, SOU Lynchburg to Riverton Junction, then N&W Riverton Junction to Hagerstown.

I wonder if these longer trains are related to the Port of Baltimore closure (just speculation on my part).  There continue to also be some “conventional” coal trains on this line of about 110 cars and 2 engines up front.  Total coal trains on this line average about four per day with an additional three or so grain, tank, and general freight trains, all eastbound but an occasional hopper train or two westbound.
