Well here is something you don't see every day rolling through Big Stone Gap, Virginia on the Cumberland Sub. This was the first daylight run of the local. The first local ran the night before. The short manifest is now a local running between Corbin, Kentucky, and Kingsport, Tennessee. Will this be a permanent train here? I don't know for sure. It likely won't be but with the railroads anything is possible as usual.
