Since the mid-1800s, trains on the Baltimore and Ohio have had to conquer the mountains of West Virginia traveling both east and west. Back in August, I stopped in to Grafton and found some activity, with westbounds arriving in the yard. Soon, M316 got track east, and I chased it to near Graveyard Curve just below Terra Alta, the top of Cranberry Grade. There, I then caught a stream of loaded and empty coal trains passing, before heading back west and home.
