NS 880 chugs eastbound with three different eras of BNSF paint for power in sequential order. First is an H1 Dash 9 which was thrown on in Illinois on BNSF rails when the 2nd leader, an H2 AC4400CW had mechanical problems. Lastly is an H3 GEVO, rounding out a rather unique power set.

NS 28V with an SD70M-2 leading charges eastbound through CP 360 in Butler on a beautiful yet windy Sunday morning.

M368-10 heads east after waiting on local L377-10 to cross over at West Nappanee. Moving the train is a pair of SD70MAC rebuilds, with the second unit shoving on the rear; leaving the more-recently rebuilt MAC to lead solo up front. It looks good in the morning light as it rolls by the former B&O depot.

CSX W028 heads westbound for Barr Yard with an ex-SCL SD40-2 in charge of a rail train, eventually bound for Grand Rapids. This was taken just west of Teegarden at milepost BI 194.97.

NS 92G rolls southbound down the Marion Branch with NS 34 (ex. NW SD35 #1530) and a track geometry car with DL&W markings.

Under the quiet night skies, a loaded grain train waiting to be delivered to NS sits at the South Milford Grain Company elevator, with GP7 1601, SD40M-2 3125, and GP30 2185 for power. A big chase crowd would be awaiting the movement of this train, but for now, all is quiet as the crickets sing and the stars shine down on Northern Indiana.

A trio of EMD power pulls an NS grain train eastbound for Montpelier yard for interchange, nice to see these old four axles earning their keep.

B157-15 with CSX's Spirit of our Armed Forces in the lead blasts by KN Tower in Walkerton, crossing the Elkhart & Western's lightly used former NKP I-MC line.

A 5100 series unit leads I135-25 at Ripley, only 94 axles according to the nearby defect detector. The saga of the AC4400CW will be coming to a close at Wabtec will be rebuilding the remaining roster of these locomotives.

CSS 2000 and 805 lead the Kingsbury South Job southbound just outside LaPorte on a brisk Monday, at the pond off of County Road 150 East. This is not a common power set for this turn. The SD38-2's usually don't make their way over here, so this was a nice treat. Especially after dark, when the train headed back north and blasted its old-cast P5 horn.

NS 50G with a 'whiteface' Dash 9 leader barrels down the Marion Branch, passing the Deatsman Farms grain elevator. On the right is my car, figured it would be nice to pair the two horses together in one photo.
