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.

1st entry: From February 9th, Herzog train 929 accelerates south after meeting NS 290 at Cagle near Lula, GA.
2nd entry: On the maiden excursion of 2013, Southern 630 leads AGS 957 to Attalla past a rural crossing near Valley Head, GA. March 2nd, 2013
I'll go with two 630 pix from Jarrett's Tunnel; the first shooting through the tunnel and the second after it has emerged.
Southbound CSX RB&BB circus train crossing the Wabash River north of Lafayette, IN at sunrise Spetember 2002.
932 Herzog ballast train getting a shove at Altoona.
NKP 765 excursion exiting the tunnel at Gallitzin, PA.
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.
Here is 926 gingerly crossing over 23rd Street interlocking in Chattanooga, TN while doing some spot dropping of ballast across the interlocking. Dan
Here is 982, an empty Herzog ballast train crusing through Bluefield Yard in Bluefield, WV. Dan
NS 975 with the Veteran's unit leading at Tucker.
