Over the weekend, Mr. Bell, Mr. Starnes and myself went to Cincinnati for the annual Summerail show. During the show, Tyler Hardin got word of a CSX train getting close with a KCS Belle leader. So during the first intermission, Tyler and myself along with a couple friends snuck out to chase CSX Q510 back toward Cincinnati. Sadly, we missed the last two-thirds of first half of Summerail, but we had some great power on an otherwise slow railroad

After dinner break for Summerail; Emmett, Chris and myself went up to CCET to shoot night shots of the Alaskan GP49 (as you've seen in Emmett's earlier post). I won't bore you with repeat details, as E.m has thoroughly explained everything! On Sunday after Summerail, we loaded up and hit I-71 as we decided (or at least 2 of us decided ) to railfan CSX. We spent the entire day at LaGrange to watch some trains. After 8 hours and 6 trains we called it a weekend and headed home. A great weekend with great friends!

Below are a few pictures from the weekend, head over to my Flickr and check out more>>https://www.flickr.com/photos/46459752@N08/

Love the street running shots! Nicely done!

Nice shots. I need to get back to LaGrange myself.

As for Bank Lick. Brings shivers to me still. Nothing like getting that call working for PTI in the middle of the night and it's a Southbound train dogged at the south end of the bank lick siding. Of course the North end in the middle of the night isn't exactly fun either. Ask the guy who ended up upside down in the creek after dropping off the crew how long before someone found him.

Yeah, we went across those bridges and had to back up over them.. They didn't weren't very fun during the day, I'd hate to see them at night
