Winchester and Western Alco RS-11 863 is southbound through Martinsburg on a cold winter day.
The W&W's Sand Man makes his way through Winchester, en route to the small CSX yard just north of downtown.
I'm guessing it gets pretty hot in the cab of a high hood RS11 in July!
The surrounding Virginia jungle encroaches upon the "Sand Man" as he continues his slow trip to Winchester and the CSX interchange.
This was an easy chase - just follow the smoke!
The loaded "Sand Man" belches a bit of smoke while crossing Route 50 with his train of covered hoppers.
