CSXT 8349 |
Description: |
This is when I knew this trip would be a good one. Two SD40-2's are switching the yard at Lafayette, one in YN2 and the other in YN1, both 84XX series. These are among my favorites, because I am a nut about straight SD40's (or in this instance, the frame). |

The Class Leader |
Description: |
After gettin intel from the yardmaster at Lafayette about this grain train, we pull up at a gas station right next to the power to fill up before we chase. When I saw the engine I was already happy enough, and then seeing the number was the icing on the cake! The chase was on on the old Monon! |

Looking a bit worn, a few patches of rust, fade, dents, etc. The 8181, seemingly held captive in Indiana for years now, sits with fellow teammate 8457 at Nucor Steel. A nice fresh white roof would be a nice start, or maybe a YN3 dip? |

Title: |
Ugh... |
Description: |
After seeing a green signal, I decided to wait at this interesting vantage point to shoot in nice evening light. Hoping it would be a CN train, this autorack rounds the corner with my last choice.... Making matters more annoying, this guy decided to take his time getting by me, so the sun was already beginning to hide behind a tree. |
