Hi all!
Evan and I braved the cold today after we got a heads up about some foreign power heading south out of Cincinnati. We started in Harriman, TN and ended in Oneida, TN. The first train actually surprised us; 65G had an ex-Conrail Dash-8 leading two Canadian Pacific GE's. After that we caught a few regulars before we met up with Jacob Gwinn in Oneida to catch a couple of BNSF units. 215 had a trio of pumpkin units and 229 had an ex-Santa Fe Warbonnet sandwiched between two NS units. For a spur of the moment trip, we actually caught a lot in three and a half hours. My favorites are below, but the complete album can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/n2scttp (http://tinyurl.com/n2scttp)

Thanks for looking!

Very nice, thanks for sharing!
Nice catches and great shots Alexa. Looks like the Central Division had just as much foreign power as the Virginia Division did.
