ACFX 27715, 8-05-2012
Title:  ACFX 27715, 8-05-2012
Description:  ACFX 27715 is part of a northbound train crossing Union Ridge Road in Greenbottom, WV (part of the LeSage postal district) on 8-05-2012. The car isn't really that dark of a gray shade but I fiddled with the software so that the trucks would be more visible. Green Bottom, the homestead of Confederate General Jenkins, isn't too far from here.
