May 2013 Contest

[JCagle]

Its hard to believe that its mid May already. This year is flying by. This months theme is Special moves. For this contest we will consider a special move anything like an ocs, circus train, or any other non-normal move. Think 900 series symbols. We will take entries until June 2 and then vote starting the 3rd. Alk regular rules apply.

For my first entry in a photo contest on Jreb.org, and first post at all for that matter, I've chosen two photos that depict movement of special movements

First shot: A pan of NKP 765 rushing through Attica, OH with an NS employee appreciation trip on 7/21/12.
Second shot: Pacing the Derby train along Route 25 in Richwood, KY on its way back from Louisville on 5/4/08.

Back after an extended hiatus, the first shot is of 986 which was a move of Loram equipment as it slowed to do Box 9 at Boyd. The second is from last July at the start of the Knoxville excursions with SOU 630. 958 has arrived from Bristol, passengers have de-trained, and now the crew is preparing to remove 1065 and return it as 968 to Sevier into active freight service.
