Here are a few recent pics. I heard 285 coming through the other day and when dispatch gave a track warrant to NS 9978 I knew I had to get some shots of the last dash 9 delivered to the NS. Yes they have a lot of dash nines but maybe 50 years from now..
Jefferson / Shelby County line

And finally after waiting in perfect high noon sun for 76J to come by as soon as the engine headlights show a cloud rolls in casting all kinds of crazy shadows in the back of the photo while the sun behind me casts shadows on the trees. This wrecks me when I shoot manual and can't change the settings on the fly fast enough and then my shutter speed is too slow when the clouds take away my light. I needed to be about 1/500 and 5.6 not 1/320 and 7.1. Of course when the sun was out full blast I had 1/800 and f9.0 set. Or I could just buy a real quality lens.

And I forgot about this but it's the empty coil train headed back to Ohio. This is a new location opened up by the new St. Michaels church just West of Pope Lick. They bulldozed a bunch of trees to make a drainage area in what used to be woods. Riggs Lake is right behind the tracks.
