RJC 1203 |
| Description: |
Got news that today should be another SPEG day. With the weather forecasted to be nice, I decided to use my New Years Holiday from work and head east. The unit was parked in Elgin and I was hoping for a run all the way to Lima. When I arrived, the sun was just beginning to rise. The unit was parked right by Mercer Landmark, which also happens to be right across the tracks from the Elgin park. I stood on top of the slide to get some golden light shots. |

RJC 5561 |
| Description: |
I sat in Elgin for about an hour and a half with nothing happening. Crews go OD out of Celina around 7 AM, but it was obvious no one was going to show up here. I did begin hearing crackles over the RJC frequency though, so I knew something must be happening in Celina today. Sure enough, as I got into town, I found WL30 heading east with both engines bracketing two box cars. I set up my first shot by the bracket signal at Villa Nova. |

RJC 5561 |
| Description: |
WL30 passes the water tower on the east side of Saint Marys. RJC 5561 recently replaced RJC 1731 on this operation. While the GP38-2 definitely isnt as cool as a GP16 with an RS3L, it is clean, and Ill take that. |

| Description: |
About 2 miles west of Buckland lies another bracket signal. Honestly could not have asked for a better set up for it. I shot this train back in 2021, and the head on the bracket was facing the tracks. Someone has gone up there and turned it the other direction. |

IORY 4509 |
| Description: |
As soon as RJ Corman got into the yard, the IORY LSL keyed up Saint Albans for track south. I decided to head over to Ford Yard to grab it coming by the searchlights. Ive never shot widecabs by these signals before Now, it will be about all I shoot by them anymore. Hopefully soon theyll be in a much nicer coat of orange paint. |

| Description: |
NS L73 was sitting at the diamond at Morris waiting on the LSL to go south. As soon as it did, they swung around off the NKP and onto the DT&I to make their interchange. The conductor was friendly and told me that I should have thrown the switch for him! |

IORY 2134 |
| Description: |
Unfortunately as L73 was coming in, RJ Corman snuck back out and went west toward home base in Celina. I decided it wasnt worth chasing if I was already so far behind so I stayed in the IORY yard, knowing the Lima B Job would be coming back from the north soon. Sure enough, I heard them call DT&I Junction, and set up by the searchlight signal at Bible Road. IORY 2134 is riding solo today, heading back to the yard office at Ford Yard. |

IORY 4813 |
| Description: |
CSX L424 was coming into town so I moved down to NS Tower to grab it. Right as it was coming around the bend, I heard IORY 4813 north Ford Yard Limits. Despite knowing it would just be BNSF Dash 9s, I passed up on the CSX GEVO to grab the trio of GEs coming under the cantilever signal. The H2 looks better patched than the H3 does in my opinion. This is the earliest I had ever seen the northbound LSL arrive in Lima, so this was a nice surprise! |

CSX 3323 |
| Description: |
With the shortline activity being done for the time being, I decided to head north to get shots of CSX trains by CPLs. I had a meet being set up at Cairo. But, instead of having one train to stop and meet the other, both trains ended up using either end of the lap siding to make a running meet. B522 was first, southbound. I had to run north to get M560 which it met almost right in front of me. |

WE 7004 |
| Description: |
It had been rumored, and then confirmed that Wheeling was sending a 431 into Lima this evening with a sand train in tow for the CFE. One of the blue CEFX leasers would be leading a trio of tiger SD40-2s. With the fading light, I knew that I would have to go east if I wanted to see it in any light at all. I began working east and ended up catching up with them at Dunkirk. This wasnt the shot I had in mind, but I will take it. |

The sun had completely set by the time the train made it to the turned PLs outside of Ada. The frame was thrown out of focus when the train entered it as well, so not the greatest shot by any means, but I hope to tune it up with some new editing software I will be buying. Regardless, a pretty banger way to end the day! |
