In The Poorfork Shadows

            R611 is making its way across the Poorfork Branch with 110 loads from Lynch 3 and CSX 1827 on point. Here it is barely shadowed by the tunnel portal between Rhea and Rosspoint. Many moons ago, a Big Emma steam locomotive was traversing this line, I believe in the 40's and the glory days of the L&N, when it hit a rock slide inside the tunnel and jack-knifed. The imprint of the locomotive can still be seen on the wall inside, and some say the tunnel has been haunted ever since. That steamer was the first Big Emma in the L&N fleet to be scrapped.
