My welcome commitee, a pair of BNSF Dash 9's out of the IHB head Eastward. I didn't really complain, I knew that CSX would deliver. |

Oh Yeah |
Description: |
As I saw this guy taking the connector over to Yard Center, I booked it over to the other end of the junction to try to fire off a few shots of it leading. This is what I got, not too bad, but I wish I had more time to set up. |

CSXT 7587, one of two still in Stealth, is found leading this short manifest over to the UP at Yard Center. My second train of the trip, and definately one of the best catches. |

Q642 |
Description: |
The short beginning has already found a Stealth Dash 8, the CSXT 8452 at the shops, and now another C40-8 leads Q642 into the yard. I was already pleasantly surprised with this, and it would be better tomorrow! |

CSXT 7524 |
Description: |
The tattered 7524 gets a roll on them again after the conductor lined up the route. Being a fan of older power, I was happy to have shot two C40-8's leading in the short time that I had arrived. |

IHB 1512 |
Description: |
The only IHB movement that I recorded this trip, but it was a pretty good one at that. IHB 54 hangs on the rear end as a shoving platform. This job will head up to Barr Yard and get loaded with coils from the steel plant. |
