March Heritage Units on the Louisville District
« on: April 06, 2016, 09:39:05 PM »
March was a good month around here for Heritage units on the Louisville District, with both the Interstate and Illinois Terminal units making  more than One appearance. 

The IT 1072 had been my "White Whale" until 2015, when I finally manged to shoot it leading a train on the CNO&TP "In the Wild"  as it seemed to have avoided KY and TN with a passion.  Now, it seems to be just hanging around!  I have yet to shoot her on a sunny day thought (except for the Heritage Shindig in Spencer), but those gaudy colors really pop on a cloudy day, so not all is lost. 

Interstate 8105 showed up a few times later in the month, and I managed to take advantage of that One Sunny afternoon....the Ones you have shot a lot always show up when the sun is out!  I am also throwing in a couple of shots of the CNJ 1071 which has been lurking in coal train service and making regular trips through Kentucky. 

You can find the whole set at this link>>>   http://www.pbase.com/kd4jsl/nsls16

The CNJ shots are stunning!
Got questions? I can help you with the Erie Lackawanna (including predecessors), Lehigh Valley, Delaware & Hudson and the shortlines of upstate NY.
