CFE 3023 |
| Description: |
Today I decided to test my luck with a CFE Road train passing the PLs since I had no luck with the local the other day. When I arrived both eastbound and westbound road trains were in the yard, but nothing was moving. However, it didnt take too long before the Fort Wayne crew jumped into the eastbound and took off. Here they are passing Dalton Corp. on the east side of Warsaw. |

CFE 2098 |
| Description: |
After sitting at the west end of Warsaw (Selby Siding) for about an hour and a half, the westbound crew arrived to take the westbound train toward Hobart. I missed some NS action while out here, one train which had NS 1074 on the head end which I didnt know about until after the CFE train left. After getting a track warrant from NSs Chicago Dispatch, the train prepares to leave and take off west. I had pitched for the one for one of the CP SD40-2's to be leading today, but of course it had to be trailing. Oh well, the sharp orange does look nice in this sunlight! |

After receiving the warrant, the train took off out of Selby and continued west. There have been off and on tiny rain showers all throughout today, and unfortunately I seemed to be caught in one at this moment. Not the perfect sunlight like the last shot. |

The conductor stayed behind at Selby to throw the switch back to the main. The train stopped momentarily in Atwood to let the conductor drive back up to the head end with a maintenance worker. After the conductor was on board, the train notched up and began their trip west to Hobart. |

The train was moving very quickly so I wasnt able to get it in a lot of spaces like I had assumed. I jumped straight for Etna Green where I waiting no more than 2 minutes and the train raced by me. |

The train had a speed restriction in Bourbon so they slowed down just a bit. I would assume the speed restriction was for recent trackwork, as the last time I saw a train go through here with my dad, they were rocking at every bit of track speed. |

By the time they hit Inwood the train was rolling at track speed again. Inwood is not the greatest shot for a westbound, but I will say its kind of unique. |

I was able to navigate the traffic in Plymouth just in time to reach the first of 4 PLs I would photograph the train against. The first being the diamond with the Elkhart and Western in Plymouth. Apparently the rumor is these signals are to be replaced with Conrail Style Trilights. A decent replacement, but not quite as unique. The southbound signal for the diamond (on the E&W) had already been replaced. CFE still has their PLs up while the northbound signal on the E&W is still an original NKP signal. |

Wasnt sure if I would be able to get to the distant signal in time. Fortunately I did with minutes to spare. I met fellow railfan Keith Burkey here and we chased the train west together. |

The train slowed down considerably once they hit Hamlet. I would assume it was for ongoing track work that had been taking place in this area for much of the Spring. |

Since the train was moving so slowly we had a considerable amount of time to reach Hanna. After about 20 minutes of waiting, the train slowly pounded across the diamond with the CKIN by the 3rd of 4 PLs I would photograph. |

The final signal was the distant signal for Hanna. At this point we basically had no daylight. Keith decided to call it quits but I figured I would try it at a couple more locations. I got what I came out for though. Nice to finally see a train passing these signals! |

NS 9619 |
| Description: |
I decided I would give the CFE Train one last attempt crossing the bridge over US 30 which still sports the PRR logo on both sides. However, I was not aware of how close the train was and I ended up taking my shot about 3 seconds too late. Yet a very good chase! CN got them right across and I called it a day following the CFE. NS had one lined up across the diamond with CN though so I decided to stick out and wait on them. Not too long after, NS 215 came roaring through Valpo |

I received a text message from a friend that IBCX 6321 was parked by the elevator in Malden. Figured I might as well try to get some exposures under the night sky! I got down to Malden and waiting for just the right moment to capture as many stars as I could! |

| Description: |
The Malden Grain Elevator Switcher, a unit that is on long term lease from BNSF, sits in its usual corner by a lamp post on the west side of the elevator. Unfortunately since it sits right under that light I could not capture the night sky very well. But a short exposure worked to light the entire engine up. A late way to end some railfanning fun in The Region, but a very enjoyed chase none the less! Got some bucket list shots off my list, and I hope to be able to get all the westbound facing signals before their untimely death soon! |
