Industrial diamond
Title:  Industrial diamond
Description:  This was a pretty interesting setup. This diamond seemed very out of place, as the University of Tennessee's soccer stadium is directly to the right of me. The track curving to the right go on to service a small coal plant for the university, while the track in front of me went stright down to the river, and curves around follwing the road. At this time, there were gondolas parked on that track. Also in the distance, the track climbes an extremly steep grade, and judging by this setup im sure its pretty interesting to watch them switch this area.
