CIW 5232
Title:  CIW 5232
Description:  The train crosses 9th and John Streets in Lapel and continues east. I received word that the CNUR would also be running a New Castle Job. So we decided to let the CIW tail off and book it to New Castle.

NS 5242
Title:  NS 5242
Description:  After Q368 passed, CSX got quiet, so I knew it was time to begin heading back toward home. Since East Wayne was on my way I figured there was no point in skipping out on possible action there. Sure enough I found it. The DN22 job was working the west end of the yard with NS 5242 and I was able to grab it in perfect sunshine.

NS 5244
Title:  NS 5244
Description:  This morning, since it was so cold and icy, I decided not to go for the local in the morning thinking it was just Elmer and Essie again. But no, I was wrong. A remote controlled Highnose Geep was solo power today! I did get it coming back here, but cant say I really care for Highnose units being long hood forward. :P NS L69 comes back north as the snow really begins to fall with the engine and a single tank car in the consist.

IERR 5255
Title:  IERR 5255
Description:  There wasnt much for the IERR to do in the yard today, as their whole train for Fernald and the transload on the south side of Cottage Grove was all in one track. We hopped over to Stone Road to grab them pulling out of the yard and shoving back to their own rails.

IERR 5255
Title:  IERR 5255
Description:  The race south was on! We wanted to at least beat it to the Okeana High Bridge, but. we caught eye of the train between Bath and Peoria. There was a specific shot I wanted between the two towns, but it would have to wait for another day. We set up shop in Peoria and began our chase from there.

IERR 5255
Title:  IERR 5255
Description:  I didnt want to take any risks, so the high bridge was where we went next. We ended up waiting much longer than I had expected to, so we could have managed to sneak in a shot between the two, but, this one paid off as it always does.

NS 5258
Title:  NS 5258
Description:  Moving back to Goodman Yard we found NS L23 finishing their work on the Marion Belt coming back light engine to the yard. Usually a high hood is the sole 4-axle Geep kept in Marion, but the rebuilt NS 5258 was showing its face in town today. This one has been around this area for quite some time now.

Title:  NS 3366 and NS 5258
Description:  With nothing else around, it was time to think about supper and going home. The sun decided to finally peak its face out behind the clouds for a few minutes though, so we went down to the other end of the yard to grab some shots of the power.

NS 3027 (Essie)
Title:  NS 3027 (Essie)
Description:  Essie leads a long line of old and brand new power north on NS 368 heading into Ossian. Yesterday I saw Elmer and Essie on the local, meaning when the two engines got back to Fort Wayne, they must have been immediately reassigned to NS 369 southbound. Busy day for those two engines.

RJC 5544
Title:  RJC 5544
Description:  Tuesdays and Fridays the RJ Corman interchanges with the CSX at Ansonia and while I was shooting the local on CSX, I could hear a horn in the distance signifying they were on their way up fron Greenville. Sure enough, I found them a few miles south of Ansonia and made it to the decrepit distant signal with CSX for my sole shot. Recently, RJC moved a "new" Geep to the property to replace the GP20 that had been on this operation for years due to it blowing out its guts. While it is sad that the GP20 is gone, Ill take this GP38-2, especially since it faces north. Both the GP16 and 20 that worked this job together faced south.

RJC 5561
Title:  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.

Title:  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.

Title:  RJC 5561
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.

NS 5642
Title:  NS 5642
Description:  I tried to take a wide angle shot of the entire train anyways. Got everything in it but the last 2 cars but it still is nice especially with Central States in the back!
