We chased this empty coal train down the Big Sandy and out to Hazard with a 75 cars. Here the train crosses high over the Arnold Fork Creek and highway 1498 near Hall. This is the north of two large steel trestles in the area on the EB&V (Elkhorn & Beaver Valley) Sub. This West Fork Bridge is 848 feet long and reported to be the tallest on the ex-C&O at 176 feet. This rugged section of track was built to Deane, KY, in 1948 to compete with the L&N to the local coal mines. The EB&V Sub runs out of Martin, KY, to Deane, then connects with the Rockhouse Sub out towards Hazard. This train would load next bound for Roanoke Rapids, NC.
