OMLX 503 and OMLX 411
Title:  OMLX 503 and OMLX 411
Description:  In Oregon, two Illinois Railway units sat between sand cars, one in Hudson Bay paint, the other in NS paint. I had a hunch these guys were working earlier today as well, but with all the special action happening on the UP, there was no point in leaving it behind to come up here on a hunch.

IORY 5016 and OHCR 4023
Title:  IORY 5016 and OHCR 4023
Description:  We began to get a little nervous when we heard a TA ring out over the scanner from the CIND frequency around the Rushville area. We kicked it into high gear and made it into Greensburg. We crested the hill at the Honda Plant and to our relief the engines were still there preparing to hook onto their train.

IORY 5016
Title:  IORY 5016
Description:  Quite the appropriate unit to pair with a OHCR corporate. Been wanting to shoot one of these closeup for a while now too.

IORY 5016 and IORY 3493
Title:  IORY 5016 and IORY 3493
Description:  Sure enough when I went to the Leipsic Siding the crew was just beginning to move the 3 units that they had left behind while they used IORY 3493 to do the work in town. SO they wouldnt have to run long hood forward, they got back into the 3 engines left on the main, pulled up, grabbed the other engine, and went back to fetch the remainder of their train.

IORY 5017
Title:  IORY 5017
Description:  The two crews made a faster swap than I had anticipated which kinda threw me off, but I managed to get parked in time to get the northbound version of the LSL departing the siding at Tremont City. Figuring Id have to meet a wall when it came to good leaders at some point, I was blessed with yet another surprise as one of the Australian SD50s was on the front. Not only that, but it was the one I hadnt shot leading yet. The train departs Tremont City by some DT&I codeline.

IORY 5017
Title:  IORY 5017
Description:  Leaned out the window to grab a broadside of the train beside a small farm southeast of Thackery. Unfortunately for me, I got some of the car window in the way so I had to crop it down a bit, which totally blocked out the barn.

IORY 5017
Title:  IORY 5017
Description:  The LSL received a signal almost immediately after the tamper cleared up, so I hurried to the Quincy High Bridge over the Miami River. Unfortunately, this is pretty much a drone only shot unless youre willing to go wade in the river for a bit. Its so weird to look at older photos from this same location and see that this area was completely clear at one time!

IORY 5017
Title:  IORY 5017
Description:  The LSL passes the fertilizer depot south of Jackson Center. Ninety-Nine Percent of the time when I pass through here there are cars filling both of these sidings. Not today, however, which actually allowed for a shot to be taken!

IORY 5017
Title:  IORY 5017
Description:  This shot took some real effort to try to get to from the fertilizer depot, but I made it just in time thankfully. The train passes the former DT&I depot in Jackson Center, which now serves as the town hall.

IORY 5017
Title:  IORY 5017
Description:  The LSL rounds the bend into Saint Johns, OH. This has always been a massive bucket list shot for me. I am sitting on the crest of a hill by the road that parallels the tracks while the tracks basically stay level. There arent a lot of shots like this in this part of the state. This just happens to be a unique scenario. The code line polls certainly add to it!

NS 5401
Title:  NS 5401
Description:  NS 5401 (in Conrail paint!) switches the Andersons in Poneto. I am worried this is going to be the last engine that I will see still in Conrail paint because NS is quickly repainting all of them.

NS 5401
Title:  NS 5401
Description:  NS 5401 sits in the south spur lead to the ethanol plant at Bluffton. This I am afraid will be the last engine that I will see in CR paint because most of the units have been retired or repainted. Goodbye Conrail! (This happened to be the last time I saw this unit)

NS 5401
Title:  NS 5401
