Eastern Railroad Discussion > Kingly Images from MLK Day

A couple odd trains early and fighting the clouds middle and late day in NE Indiana made for some good images on this holiday Monday. A slow day for train numbers led to us shooting 11 trains and not seeing too many more.

EB CSX train K270 (odd symbol - short tank car train) coming out of the fog hovering over Auburn, IN with CP 8780 & CSX 3091 handling a 300 axle train at CR35 on the CSX Garrett Sub at 0912.

We then spent the rest of the day around Butler, IN where the former Wabash & NYC (now NS) lines cross.

EB NS roadrailer 264 at Butler, IN with UP 6019 & NS 2769 at 1004 on the former Wabash.

Eastbound odd NS train 66T at W. Butler with NS 7616, CN 8824 & BNSF 6840 from CR57 at 1054 with 96 cars.

Westbound NS 80 car grain train, 51Q, at E. Butler with a trio of NS wide ones: 8054, 9457 & 9550 at 1424.

The gates at CR 75 didn't make it back up after the 51Q cleared because NS train 35N followed 21T (onto the darkside Wabash) on 2 track with NS 6792 & 8804 at 1426.

WB NS mixed freight train 309 on the west side of Butler under heavy cloudage at 1538 with NS 9483 & 6744 easily managing the 33 cars.

Wow! Perfect Shots on all of them. what kind of camera did you use?

K270 is loaded soybean oil bound for Port of Charleston South Carolina for export.

a real nice series of photos. In photo #6 you have white clouds, some white snow and white in the train. All together they make a nice photo.
