I loved coal trains. Now THIS is coal traffic.

Dubbed sound in this one. Get a load of the clean stack on the 2165:

Newer, but just as loud, if not louder. I took a picture about a mile east of here in November 1975 of four Western Maryland F-units on the front of a westbound train. They were running on B&O tracks, which is what you're seeing here. The old WM right of way can be seen at 1:20. The WM went over the B&O on the Salisbury Viaduct.
