SWP 2006 (5)         
A mixed freight train with four GP11's is idling in a snowstorm at O&B Junction in Wheeler Bottom, waiting for permission from CSX to go over to Greene Junction. The abandoned relay box on the right was from when this line was signaled and double tracked back in the B&O days. Even further back, in the early part of the 20th century, there was a junction to the right with the O&B shortline. After all these years, it is still called O&B Junction.
