Where's the train?
Author: santafe199

Another preview teaser* while I’m editing 2390+ images from the east…

1. An eastbound CSX manifest has activated the lights & gates at the N 1950th St crossing just west of Teutopolis, IL on the rainy evening of March 13, 2017.

*Stay tuned. You’ll see the mysterious train down the road (from Indy).

Thanks for looking!

Nice shot with the rain reflection on the road, really brings out the mood of the weather.

Thanks for the kind comments, gang! But I gotta confess: Since it was raining AND with nobody behind me on the highway I just stopped in the westbound lane, rolled the window down and grabbed a few photos -train included, which you'll see later.
(Like Texas Ranger Augustus McRae says "I ain't scared to be lazy" ... ;^)

Do not remember NS going through Teuotopolis, do rember CSX as the successor to PRR and PC and Conrail.

Well now... Thanks for the correction. It was a UP unit on the point of the train that (dark & stormy) night. And my Illinois DeLorme shows the line as still being Conrail. So I had a 50% chance at getting the correct current RR. Of course, if you have a 50-50 guess at something Murphy's Law say you have a 90% shot at guessing wrong...
