Yesterday afternoon, I spent a couple hours at the Bluegrass Railroad Museum in Versailles with a few friends during the 2014 Horn Honk Special. While I couldn't stay for the Horn Honk itself, I did manage to chase the 2pm excursion train and get one parting shot of the 4pm Horn Honk Train. I also managed to get some pictures of the freshly repainted ICG GP8. BGRM has done a fantastic job with that unit and it seems their Horn Honk was a success!
Below is the picture set from Saturday... As always check out my Flickr>>https://www.flickr.com/photos/46459752@N08/
