A nice looking L&N restoration rests on the wye as a former CSX switcher rolls past sounding a horn of a collector during the Horns in the Holler event.
Oh, the west and its magnificent scenery. A geologist's dream. This Kodachrome is grinding uphill on an eastbound. Alleged folks used to sunbathe in the nude down by the creek here but I never w... (more)
Christmas Eve in the desert.
A brand new Conrail C30-7A is used in maintenance of way service in Chicago.
Derelict but largely intact these two old dinosaurs caused a quick u turn when spotted them where we certainly didn’t’t expect them.
The 3 Tilden heads back to Eagle Mills with two C30-7's on point. The 3074 was built as BN 5531 in 1977.
LSI's 3 Tilden heads south through Palmer Line Junction on the way to load up at Tilden Mine.
The afternoon 3 Tilden runs through the rock cut at Eagle Mills Junction with LSI 3074 leading. Tilden was putting out tons of ore this weekend and really made for a good show.
The second train running as the 7 Tilden heads back to Eagle Mills with another load of ore. Multiple AC4400CW's were down this weekend making the duo of C30-7's in constant use.
LSI 3074 slows its train down to enter Tilden Mine. Here they are running along a small pond just outside of Palmer.
The 7 Tilden makes another run back to Palmer to get a second train of ore loads. The 3074 was built in 1977 for the Burlington Northern.
LSI 3073 pulls out of Eagle Mills Yard to make a shove move. The LS&I at the time still had searchlight signals all over their trackage.
The 7 Tilden pulls east into Eagle Mills with steaming loads. The LS&I is one of the last places in the US to have running C30-7's.
LSI 3073 pulls ore loads out of Palmer and on the way back to Eagle Mills. The big hills behind the train are all tailing piles.
