NB grain

Q688 belches smoke as it pulls north along Hwy 41 north of Evansville

NB loaded coal. This train loaded at Alliance Coal near Princeton IN

North of Vincennes at Smith

NB Grain

Taking the siding at Hazleton

First shot of the day on Sunday, SB grain train G250 appearing before the morning crap burned off.

Still no sun. NB past the station at Princeton

Further north and finally the fog has burned off. Hot SB intermodal Q121 takes the signal at North Decker.

The first of a 3 train SB parade.

It's good to see auto racks moving, this train had 77 cars of which approx 60 were loaded racks.

Q124 had some problems after leaving the siding at Decker. The defect detector noted a hot wheel on car 22, so the train had to limp to Vincennes and set out the bad order. Finally on the move north again.

Drafting Q124 is Q648

Q645 had been waiting patiently in the siding at Smith and heads south after the two north bounds pass.

SB train Q595 on the main at Smith.

NB with an untimely cloud.

NB approaching NS at Princeton

SB Q647 splits the signal at Middle King

On the heels of the previous train, G732 at King

A much nicer gesture than I got last time I was here.

My friend Tom and I hung out at St James for quite a while with no trains. Upon our arrival back in Evansville, this one called clear of Harwood in Evansville. So back north we went for this shot.

Last shot of the day, Q688 smokes it up going north from Evansville

EB across the B&O bridge at Vincennes

CSX replaced the swing portion of this bridge a couple years ago.

A 9,000' monster flies past N. Decker

Around the curve at Smith. I could stay here all day and shoot.

SB south of Patoka

The new county road overpass at Ingle is visible in the background, currently under construction.

To make this shot work, the train has to be long enough to stretch back through the curves. Q121 did just that for this Sunday morning shot from Interstate 64.
