After the wife and kids left to do some shoe shopping, I left to go to my favorite spot of all, Wilmore.
All I managed to get in one hour's time(3pm to around 4pm)is three trains, at least its better than none.
While killing time to wait on the southbound (signals was set @ ADVANCE APPROACH when I arrived on one track) I thought to get a shot of this group of weeds growing next to the parking lot at the Wilmore Police Dept.

Ok enough "weeding" around ::) Here are the trains:
SURPRISE!!!! It's NS 170 with a "dinosaur" or as I call them a "hunchback" GE locomotive, C39-8 8632 with an ex Union Pacific, HLCX 5953 trailing, passing Van's Automotive shop in Wilmore.

Next we have NS 287 with a, of course, a catfish on the lead:

.....and an interesting locomotive trailing. A former Canadian Pacific unit (looks to be a SD40-2) with some of its colors fading, now owned by NREX & still its original number, 5476(magnified):

Our last train of the hour is Triple Crown Roadrailer NS 251 with of course, another catfish:

After his passing & traffic died down, it was time for me to head to the house.
Enjoy!!!
