Just a shot of CSX at a rural crossing taken this afternoon. When I arrived, barking dogs and neighbors emerged to see what was happening. I stayed very close to my truck and held my D5100 high so that everyone could see that I wanted to take only a picture of the train. Nervous, I didn't...

Does anyone on this thread edit out large, irritating items in their pictures that spoil composition? Here's a case in point with the CSX photo I took today and posted above. There's a tall silver light tower that bisects the frame and detracts from the image I think. To keep it promotes...

Thanks Chuck. Nice here, but windy like OH. Meanwhile at NS's Andrews Yard in Columbia, the train from Macon, GA arrived:

From today at CSX's yard in Cayce, SC.

Thanks so much Chuck. Yep, the GP-30s were once the hottest thing on the road and they indeed still look cool. I found a Soo GP-30 in Mundelein, IL in August of '78, complete with Alco trucks:

From an old low-rez scan of a slide taken in Montgomery, AL in June 1984, an SOU freight arrives. Sadly, this former Central of Georgia branch was removed long ago. NS no longer serves Montgomery.

Hiked up to the north end of the siding at Shepard, SC to catch a long Q463 today.

Taken today, Seaboard depot in Camden, SC, built 1937 and still serving today for Amtrak.

From an old slide scan taken July 1994, NS blasts through Simpson, SC with at least eight locomotives. Southern Railway whistle posts are an unmistakable icon of a fine road.

CSX 6143 GP-40-2 taking a nap. Built June 1975, formerly B&O 4244.

Got trackside today at Shepard, SC and bagged CSX making its way south. Our tall trees sure cast long shadows.

Crashton, does the former B&O F Tower in Fostoria still stand? I just found this shot I took of it on 09/23/1997.

Cool! Yes, you have some real gems in your vicinity. I did my best to get shots of old SAL signals in my area such as this one. Long ago the SAL used "doll masts" to mount passing siding signals. You can see the empty doll mast arm in this shot, shorn of its signal which was moved to the...

A very long CSX Q463 heads through Lugoff, SC today under a new signal bridge.

Was west of Charlotte, NC on Friday at Lowell, NC and was happy to find this vintage, unadulterated former SOU signal bridge and signals on the NS main. The sun was in a poor spot, but the shot was worth grabbing. These old signal bridges are becoming very rare, as modern bridges and signals...

Tillman Hall clock tower at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC, built 1894:

Station Wagon for the wife ......

Thank you. Neat that Brady Lake Tower was saved! Spaulding (IL) Tower seen below was saved too and now resides at the Illinois Railroad Museum. This is a 1976 shot (how can this be from 40 years ago?!!) using my Nikkormat FTn and Plus X film. Spaulding was also an EJ&E tower and stood at...

< As a young guy I was invited into the PRR/PC tower at Brady Lake Ohio & given a tour. > You are blessed to have been able to see it. When I was a teen in the mid-70s, I was invited into the EJ&E tower in Barrington, IL and was in heaven. Here's an outside shot and one of the "Armstrong"...
