Louisville District Heritage & EMD from August & September

[E.M. Bell]

I have spent a lot of time the past couple of months shooting  local stuff, and even giving a few friends from out of town a grand tour of all that Kentucky has to offer in the way of railroads.  After spending most of the Spring and summer out of the state shooting steam , it was nice to stay close to home (for the most part) and enjoy the busy NS mainlines we are blessed with. 

Here is Part one....a couple of months on the NS Louisville District, including a little heritage power and other goodies! 

You can find all of these (and lots lots more) at this link in full resolution.  >>>>  http://www.pbase.com/kd4jsl/nsls15
