NS 4192
Title:  NS 4192
Description:  TJ had a graduation to attend to that evening, so he and I said our farewells. It was another great day spent along the tracks with one of my very good friends. While traffic was for the most part completely dead, NS L82 asked for permission off the belt behind NS 262, so after dropping TJ off, I worked south to OmniSource where I found the short train departing south to Summitville.

NS 4212
Title:  NS 4212
Description:  With another lull in the traffic behind NS L98, the boys decided that they wanted to go bowling at Munsee Lanes on the south side of town. So, thats what we did for the next few hours. NS sent 4 trains through while we were there while CSX a whopping zero. Power wise, we didnt miss much. We came back to NS at 6th Street right before sunset to grab a northbound NS 26C and a southbound NS 50A off the Frankfort side. NS 26C was first up.

NS 4220
Title:  NS 4220
Description:  Shortly after the grain train, NS 181 received a signal to continue west on the Huntington District. Fog had been a "Problem" most of the morning, but understandably it had to burn off right as a had a train coming directly out of the sun.

NS 4221
Title:  NS 4221
Description:  Today I decided to take a day trip down to the Whitewater Valley Railroad to shoot the Polar Express and Metamora Christmas trains for the first time. I havent shot any Whitewater Valley trains besides Thomas and the Caboose Train before, so I am looking forward to getting to explore the entire line! Since both excursions dont start until 5 PM, Ive decided to do some railfanning in Muncie to waste away the afternoon. Shortly after I left the house however I noticed NS 200 was cleared through, so I got down to Bluffton before attaching the flash and getting some shots of it racing north out of town.

Title:  NS 4222
Description:  After meeting NS 188 at Royerton, NS L69 received a light to continue south to home base at Muncie East Yard. This time we grabbed it crossing the 1st of the 3 bridges over the White River. The first bridge, unlike the other two, is girdered and takes a bit of a walk to get to.

NS 4229
Title:  NS 4229
Description:  Today TJ and I decided to take some time seeing what shortline and mainline action we could come away with around East Central and Central Indiana. We decided to begin the day around the Central Indiana and Western after hearing that they had an outbound train for Anderson today. But first, we made a quick stop at Noel and found NS 55G awaiting a new crew.

NS 4236 and NS 7638
Title:  NS 4236 and NS 7638
Description:  As soon as we left Farmland, we could hear the sounds of another westbound approaching, which was CSX I131. The dispatch called them up and told them he needed to get I008 east through Anderson before anything else, so he was going to hold up I007 ahead of them, which would mean they would be stopping at Parker City for a bit. That ended up giving us some time so we went back into Muncie to catch NS L82 yarding. This is the first time both TJ and I have caught this local with two units on the front of this local. The train crosses the 3rd of 3 bridges NS has over the White River in Muncie.

NS 4254
Title:  NS 4254
Description:  UP 6706 had already passed Nelson, so we knew we had to stay east of Dixon if we wanted to shoot it. We decided to move into Franklin Grove to see if we could catch UP 1111 again, but it ended up stopping east of town. We moved to the east side of town to find some nice open crossings, but there was nothing that either of us were too interested in. UP MNPPR was in front of MMTPR which had UP 6706 leading, so we set up for MMPPR at the intermediates just west of Franklin Grove. NS engines were up front, in the middle, and on the rear of this massive manifest as it slowly bobbed through the small rolling hills on the Geneva Subdivision.

NS 4282
Title:  NS 4282
Description:  NS L54 was working East Yard for quite some time when and while I was in Muncie with the NS 3415, the only SD40-2 in the Muncie pool at the moment. I was counting on them to run to Vernon to grab the NS 122 interchange, but they never did. CSXs local usually runs on Fridays, but I ended up loosing patience with them too and decided to head for home. I grabbed some supper at Burger King in Hartford City, and all was quiet until I reached home, where a southbound green signal greeted me at CP Wells. Soon after, a southbound grain train ripped through Ossian. Glad I was able to pick one more up on this great day trackside!

NS 4287
Title:  NS 4287
Description:  Our friend Alex Walker was the conductor aboard 13Q today so we made sure we stuck around long enough to grab him. Sure enough, they were the next westbound lined in behind 23G, and we grabbed them coming off the wide connection off the Toledo District on the west side of Oak Harbor. After 13Q, we would call it a day since it was almost 7 PM (3 hours after check-in) We followed NS 258 into Sandusky but unfortunately were not able to get over and grab shots of them. Even though we got behind, we still got quite a bit of awesome stuff that we were both really pleased with! We closed the night with pizza, wings, and some arcade fun at the lodge. Was a fantastic first day!

NS 4303
Title:  NS 4303
Description:  With the INER excitement over for the day, it was back to NS to catch the two trains we had come this far north for in the first place. Of course, when we arrived in Waterloo, all was quiet compared to just an hour before. But, we did have an eastbound lined up, which was NS 268, showing up about 15 minutes later.

NS 4310
Title:  NS 4310
Description:  Ethan and I had been planning a trip to the Rochester and Erie for a few weeks, and the day had finally arrived. Our friend Nick has been working for the railroad now for a couple months, and it would be my first time seeing him work. With a run planned to Argos that day, we knew we our plans were set in stone. We hadnt planned on starting the day very early, but, CN was running a OCS out of Homewood and east into Canada that morning. So, we decided to begin our day with that. Leaving Markham at 0600 EST, we ended up having to start out day very early. So, thats what we did. We jumped onto US 31 and began to make our way north to South Bend, where we planned on catching the train at CP Flower south of town. When we made it into Argos, the train had yet to pass the Griffith Camera, and there were sparks of life coming from the Chicago District on the scanner. So, we decided to stop and head over to the yard. A green signal greeted us for westbound NS 29C at Juniper, and minutes later, the train passed us with three NS GEs at track speed.

Description:  NS 4322 was bringing up the rear of the relatively short NS 143 that day. Not sure why this train needed DPU for only being about a mile long. The PSR way of running a railroad confuses me.

NS 4327
Title:  NS 4327
Description:  Just as it looked like we werent going to get any trains to close the day out, UP MCBCH keyed up G3 and the dispatcher and told them they were ready to go east. Right at sunset, the train slowly rolled out of G3 with a solo NS AC44C6M on the front. NS is paying back quite a few power hours to the UP after they themselves leased a ton of UP locomotives back at the end of 2022 and into 2023. With that, our day came to an end. Another great day of railfanning! The following day will begin in Rochelle, and end in Dubuque.

NS 4344
Title:  NS 4344
Description:  The power from L44 rebounded almost immediately to NS L46. After NS L42 arrived back in Goodman, NS L46 asked for permission downtown to head north toward Wabash. We set up shop at CP 79 again, and sure enough, both GEs from L44 were the power, however, this time they were in a push/pull configuration.
