A Bluefield 2-8-4 makes her way slowly through Williams Ridge with a reefer train in tow. Bluefield had several 'hotshot' freights, and although they were not extremely high speed, they were faster than one would assume on a steep and winding road like the Southern Allegheny Division. 777 was a division favorite as far as heavy home steam power.
