The theme this month is stormlight. Enter your pictures of NS' (or its predecessors') trains with storm clouds, rainbows, rain, lightening, etc.
Each participant is allowed to enter two photos. If you have any questions, please contact me via private messaging.
Good luck! :)

Second photo: 194 heads east through Salem with rain and storms coming up in the back ground.

Nice shot! I always like seeing SD60's running in LHF mode.
SD60 & rainbow

NS 6699
All those shots of the 6699/rainbow look surprisingly similar. Hmmm... ;)
These are both from Wednesday May 13 2009.
NS 906 Geometry Train on the Dayton District heading east through Springfield Ohio in light rain.
NS 376 on the Dayton Dist being held out of Miamisburg Ohio for a surfacing gang in heavy rain.
Sorry, no rainbows in Ohio... ;D
This Grinder is on NS trackage waiting on TA to resurface track
just this small window of sun in all the gloom.
NS 16T rolling east in a brief Spring downpour at Bristol, VA...the rain stopped and the sun was shining about 10 minutes later.
Wonder who will win?
Probably one of the "rainbow coalition" ;D, assuming they don't split the vote 3 ways.
I just wonder if they were singing 'The Rainbow Connection' made popular by Kermit the Frog in the first Muppet Movie?
lol
It was drizzling Sunday afternoon when I took this on the back side of Tunnel 26 at Oakdale, does that count as stormlight?
Don't forget that voting closes tomorrow night! Be sure to cast your vote!
Congrats to this months winner Whitethorne with his V60 shot.
Thanks for all the votes guys!
