CSX's Sciotoville Bridge, just east of Portsmouth, OH, at twilight on May 03, 2002.

Twilight shot of a CPL at East End FS interlocking, controlled by the operator at Newton Falls, OH, on CSX's New Castle Sub. The op had just told a westbound rack train that he'd line him through, which gave me the opportunity to open the shutter and catch the signal change from Stop to Approach and, seconds later, Clear. (August 09, 2002)

Later that evening, a 13-minute exposure looking up at the same signal.

Steam and exhaust smoke rise from the GE Plastics/Selkirk CoGen facility as an eastbound stack train arrives at CSX's Selkirk Yard in Upstate NY. (February 23, 2002)

---

The same night, Selkirk's hump.

---

Right at sunset, six SD80MACs and a pair of SD70MACs lay over at the Selkirk Fuel Plant. (June 07, 1998) Pardon the poor, old scan of a slide.

An eastbound CSX trailer train rushes along the Mohawk River and past the Amsterdam, NY, Amtrak depot on a cool spring night. (April 06, 2002)

As viewed from within the gauge of the abandoned CE&D Sub trackage at 6th Avenue, Q281 cruises westward through Terre Haute, IN, on November 27, 2001.

---

Q120 shoots laser beams past the "West Haley" sign at 6th Avenue in Terre Haute, IN (November 27, 2001).

---

Last one: Q639 twists through the S-curve at CP-72 (or "Ringo" for the old-timers) on the west side of Terre Haute, IN, as flags flutter at a garage and atop the MAB Paints factory. (April 18, 2003)

I hope everyone's enjoyed my entries; I'm well aware they pale in comparison to the entries of others, but isn't the point of the contest to encourage everyone to share their work? Congrats to the winners and thanks to everyone for contributing!
