A very similar setting, this appears to be an eastbound hill job
out of Elmore, climbing past Bud, WV, up to Clark's Gap. Those
would be EL-3As on the head end, Virginian's three-motor version
of the N&W LC-2s, plus a pusher.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Alex, Grant, et. al,
<div>I am fairly sure this is Switchback in early
electrification due to the catenary construction. My problem
is, I believe we should see the branch going down to the mines
in the valley/bottom in this shot, but I can't make it out.
Can anyone shed some light on this?</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
