Unexpected Railfanning trip in Downtown Knoxville

[Davidellias]

Just walking on the waterfront when I came across this guy.



Lead unit is 1269, a Slug, 2002 and MP15AC, and 2313 an SW1500.



So close you can almost touch it! In fact it was going slow enough I probably could have touched it and still kept all my fingers intact.



one of three Ex-Nash County Exx-CSX Boxcars on the train.



this is clearly ex-NCYR #603



Thought this was a very appropriate Marking, given it's also the name of the county this pic was taken in.



Yadkin Valley Gondola



And the end of the train, an Anderson's scrap gondola.

Great pics!!! I especially like the last one with the pics of the draft gear of a rotary coupler.
