Ingleside is a small community west of Oakvale, deep in the hollow of the East River valley.
Train 18M rounds the same curve as the photo immediately below during a short snow squall in February 2006. Two weeks later - and fifty degrees warmer - an SD60 leads a loaded coal train east over bridge 831.
Train 766 leans into the curve with pre-peak autumn colors for a backdrop in October 2005.
Robb Fisher photographed train 765 entering the reverse curves in September 2005.
Train 185 passes the TSA at milepost 351.0 and the County Road 38/3 grade crossing at Hardy, curving through a steep cut as the East River and its hollow start some sharp curves forcing the railroad to do the same. An hour or two earlier, train 18M snakes its way east behind a standard-cab GE.
Union Pacific SD70M 4948 leads train S21 between a pair of Color Position Light signals on a rainy day in September 2003.
This train was also photographed at Ada and Oakvale.
Train 185 was graced with a fading warbonnet in March 2003.
UP 7141 leads three high-hood GP38's (two GP38AC's and one 'straight' GP38) with an empty coal train in December 2002. Symmetrical curves and parallel vertical lines turn a boring 'going away' shot into an artsy photo.
Another of the coal trains that are ubiquitous on the New River Sub. moves west on main 1 in July 2001.
