The 2022 Autumn Colors Express (Prince, WV)

Описание: The final day of 4 days of the 2022 Autumn Colors Express (West Virginia) featured an eclectic set of power to bring 18 passenger cars full of people from Huntington, West Virginia to Hinton, West Virginia (and return). A CSX GP40-2 became the lead unit when PTC failures were found. The power would run around at Hinton for the return trip. Approximately 2800 passengers traveled on the train to visit "Hinton Railroad Days” and walk around the city. This was the first fall foliage tourist train here since 2019 due to pandemic related restrictions, but it carries on a decades long tradition that dates back to the days when Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad still ruled the rails. Consist listed below.
