NS 7607
Title:  NS 7607
Description:  And just like that, a trip that I had been planning for months had arrived; the Longest Day (albeit, a day late) in Ogden Dunes! I stayed the night at the Holiday Inn in Valpo the night before, and got started around 4:30 AM. A thick fog off the lake made the morning light start a bit later but not even a minute before I arrived at the South Shore station, my first train made its appearence. NS 25G cuts through the fog and starts the day of hopefully heavy rail traffic.

NS 7622
Title:  NS 7622
Description:  After most of the snow that fell this morning melted, my dad and I went up to Jefferson Pointe to get my mom a Christmas Present. We decided after we were done to finish the evening in New Haven to do some railfanning. Right when we got done though, NS 13J was lined to come west so we decided to catch it first at Hadley Road.

NS 7623
Title:  NS 7623
Description:  NS 7623 leads a high speed NS 282 north through Ossian. This would be the final train I would see before NS would shut down the entire system for Christmas Day. Very glad to see that the railroad does this. While it is very good for people to spend Christmas together, remember the true reason why we celebrate this holiday; Our Savior Jesus Christ coming in our place to forgive the sins of the entire world.

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 7638
Title:  NS 7638
Description:  While waiting on CSX M364, NS L80 got track out of Muncie to head east toward Redkey and then eventually Dunkirk. While I was hoping to be able to get the train around Albany, but it was no such luck, as when we followed the tracks east we found the train hopping onto the branch to Dunkirk. We caught up with the train at CR 1000W on the way to Dunkirk. The leader on today's L80 happened to be the 2nd unit that was on NS L82 this morning. Some Road Closed cones were up by the tracks, but eh crossing itself was clearly not closed. So I repositioned some things to make an interesting shot. Gotta do what you gotta do.

NS 7640
Title:  NS 7640
Description:  NS 61C was following NS 262 from a distance, so I decided to work further south for it. I began hearing them call signals once I got into Hartford City, but tried to make it as far south as I could. I heard them call the intermediate at Eaton, so I turned off on the county road north of there. Right as I was crossing, the gates began to come down and I got out just in time to get a sole shot of the fast slab train.

After about an 8 minute wait, the meet occurred, I took my pictures, and I called it a day. A fun day shooting some new stuff for me!
