AMTK 118 |
Description: |
I ended up getting the day off of work randomly this morning, so I decided to spend my day up on the NS Chicago Line between Waterloo, IN and Edgerton, IN. I went up as soon as I knew I had the day off, and I didnt have to wait long at my first stop in Waterloo before AMTK 49 rolled in for its station stop in town. |

I decided I wanted a shot of a train passing the grain elevator in Edgerton so I moved further east into Ohio where I grabbed NS 21G rolling west through town. NS 21G most days was an evening train, but I believe it has a new call time out of Toledo as it has been running in the mornings for quite some time now. |

Description: |
Back in Butler, I got another "usually evening" move in NS 25N, which featured a solo BNSF GE on the front. After the full introduction of PSR, NS flopped some of the intermodal traffic symbols to different terminals. NS 25/26N come from the UP now whereas NS 22/23K come from BNSF. Despite it being a train bound for UP tracks, a BNSF unit found its way on the front. |

Description: |
After NS 26E cleared CP 359, NS 181 got the light to come down on the Huntington District. I successfully grabbed the train passing the trilights that guard the south side of the diamond. This is the first time Ive been brave enough to shoot a train coming by these signals as the guy who lives across the tracks from where this was taken is not very fond of railfans and will run them off. I timed my moves just right and got what I was looking for. |

I wanted to go back to State Line to grab a couple trains, but unfortunately I got pinned down before I could get there and ended up getting stopped halfway to grab a westbound manifest and NS 20E. I had to shoot shadow side too unfortunately because the manifest was clearly going to get to my location first and would have eclipsed NS 20E. |

After NS 15N went by things got pretty quiet, but finally a crack on the scanner told me that NS B43 was returning heading back to Bryan. It was a pretty short day for the local, but at least it meant it wouldnt be coming back completely backlit like it usually does. I decided since it was a nose forward GP60 I was going to walk down to the trilights to get a better shot than I would from the side like I did with NS 206 in the morning. If I wouldve known it had no cars with it I wouldnt have tried something that daring or special, but Im happy with it anyway! |

Description: |
Reports were coming out of Elkhart that NS 1069 was leading NS 143 south. I was a bit skeptical of that because I saw no trains take the connection at CP 412 on ATCS, but there were plenty of eastbounds, so I decided to roll back into Waterloo and wait. Sure enough, my suspicions were right and NS 1069 came rocketing by on eastbound NS 310. |

I wish I knew myself. |

CP 130 (the old CP 140) closes out my day with a pair of CP GEs up front. A total of 28 trains passed the camera today. While it wasnt the busiest Ive ever seen the Chicago Line, the number of BNSF leaders and trailers was mind boggling; a total of 7 had BNSFs leading and 5 more had BNSFs trailing which brought up a total of 12 trains with at least 1 BNSF unit in the consist. Just under half! Orange is my favorite color so I have no complaints! A fun day on the busy mainline! |
