No, no! Chuck's new GE Gas Turbine from Amazon is safe and on its way via a special train as seen today in Cayce, SC. Chuck, you'll need to be home to sign for it. ;)

Taken this afternoon, here's NS 191 (sister train to 192 above) taking the Congaree River in stride at Cayce, SC on her way to Atlanta.

Not anything old, but rather something very new -- a 2020 BMW 230i Coupe. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I really like the styling of this car. However, with a sticker price of $43,345 USD, the car will evade my garage and this picture will have to suffice. :cool:

Hmmm. Probably this one at a rural grade crossing.

Caught NS 192 this afternoon with 30 Seconds to spare. This spot is about 1/4 Mile from the highway (that lane in the background is a private driveway), so I had to run. I thought the composition here might be interesting where an industrial spur meets the mainline. If only the switchstand...

My wife is on the road for an out-of-town function and phoned me today en-route to say that she saw an NS military train at a fairly distant passing siding. To find a train "in the hole" at that location has become unusual, as is a daylight southbound, so I grabbed the D5100 and headed out...

Couldn't resist snapping this shot today of my 265 HP Nissan in the shadow of a 4400 HP locomotive. ;)

A few finds today, including the Carolina Piedmont's yard office in Laurens, SC, some of their power and a burly CSX helper unit resting in Enoree, SC. Yep, the northwestern region of SC is pretty hilly and CSX stations a helper here to assist loaded coal trains up Ora Hill.

153 was running DPUs two-thirds of the way back. Just an enormous train.

Shot these today just south of Greenville, SC on the NS mainline. First is Train 153 bound for Birmingham, AL: Followed closely by Train 237 up from the Port of Charleston, SC and bound for Atlanta, GA: 237 is seen again at the crossovers at Fallis, SC:

Thanks Chuck. Further south in the lowcountry we also found the SAL's station at Fairfax, SC. A former ACL branch crosses here too. Both lines remain active and the diamond sees numerous CSX trains every day.

Savannah, GA

Gotta love the name of this place. West Congress St., Savannah, GA.

CSX DPU helper unit brings up the rear as it sweeps through Hardeeville, SC on the former Atlantic Coast Line mainline. Branchville, SC depot on Norfolk Southern's line between Charleston and Columbia. This line was completed in 1840 and remains one of the oldest continually operated lines...

I don't use them often because I forget they're there, but in the right location the miniaturization function can be fun. Shot these from a lighthouse several days ago.

Lighthouse at Tybee, GA:

Happened to see the thread so found a shot that might work. I usually speed read the rules and somehow foul up. :rolleyes:

The PC unit was out for a joyride this afternoon. ;) Wheee! Actually, she's serving on local P85 and is returning running light after dropping some cars at an industry.

Here's one of their Jade Green boxcars like you remember. I think I shot this in Montgomery, AL in the mid-1980s. Their logo was known as the "mating worms". :rolleyes:

Your memories are spot on. I was shooting b&w back then (why waste unaffordable color film on b&w locomotives :D) and found this one taken at Union Station in Chicago in about 1975.
