With their longs lines of stored locomotives, the Class I's may be taking the most visible hit due to the current economic disaster, but shortlines have been anything but spared. When the CLNA took over 142 miles of Norfolk Southern trackage in 2007, their traffic was already light, but with the current state of affairs the line's traffic has dropped to an all time low. The Wilson turn (seen here) is unfortunately down to just 2 runs on most weeks, and this short four car train is becoming typical. The station once served the original Norfolk Southern's mainline and is one of very few so nicely preserved.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
