CSX AEPX coal train at Petersburg WV

On the way back from a week in Cass, WV, he (photographer) and his wife stopped in Petersburg WV for a picnic lunch and ended up at a downtown riverfront park.  No sooner did they sit down than a 100 car CSX AEPX coal train blasted through about 25 feet from the picnic area.  He still hasn't explained to his wife that he had no idea that a train would actually use the tracks that went right through the 'cute little park' exactly at the time they sat down for lunch.  And, why of all times did he have my camera ready to go. Photo By Arvid Olson, Lafayette IN
