Two trains in a mountainous autumnal setting on a model railroad layout

It’s a great day to be railfanning at Tug Tower in Welch, W.Va. As a westbound Norfolk Southern unit coal train comes downgrade, NS General Electric units prepare to ascend the grade. Lou Sassi took the photo on Scott Teague’s N scale layout in Granite Falls, N.C.
