As a thick layer of fog lingers over the Potomac River, the day is just getting started for CSX’s Brunswick Yard. The 3 BNSF engines off a grain train stick out against the landscape and will be used as the yard switchers for the day.

One key characteristic of Roanoke is that it’s surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges which, if the contents of the yard weren’t good enough, only add to the quality of pictures taken from the drone.
