Had to be in the Harriman area today so I spent some time playing around. I didn't know how many trains would run but there were quite a few. I caught seven trains at Cardiff within a few hours. Also saw 54J head up the line toward Clinton and Knoxville.
Four UP engines at the head of 224:

I took some videos and pictures both. It was funny, just as I was about to video train 168, some other railfans showed up on the overpass I was pointing the camera toward. So let me know if this is you in my movie so I can give proper credits ! haha

Trying to start over with my pics on a different website simply because it allows sub-albums and I can organize better. Gonna take a long time to rebuild everything though.

Thanks for looking.

8) Thanks for the videos, the current wave of bombings has severely hampered my line-side ventures, not to mention unemployment!
Sorry to hear of your troubles. I barely escaped being laid off last year by taking a new job and moving to Cookeville from Knoxville. So I can certainly understand.
Glad to share this hobby of ours with all of you guys. It's a great way to learn and really makes it 100 times more enjoyable.

Loved the sound of the horns on the UP. Much better than that noisemaker on the M-2.
That's one of the cool things from doing the videos. You get to hear the sounds and hear the differences. And with the tripod, I start the video and actually get to watch the train go by. When taking pictures, I'm trying to get everything lined up and focused. Half the time I can't even tell you what kind of engine was in the lead until I go back and look ! haha
