"Action" in Watson, Indiana

I went out to a small town called Watson today to shoot the old B&O tower that is still standing. I've been meaning to get a shot of it for years. While I was there I was lucky enough to catch a transfer picking up a few cars from the old Army ammo plant that is now an industrial park of sorts. The place is sort of a ghost town. The old tower and small yard that time forgot. This was an interchange between the PRR and B&O in another time.

 

it would be a good idea to make that tower into a railfan shelter

 

Wow! That engine looks worse than the tower.

 

Ha!! The tower looks new compared to the 2 loco's! lol:teeth:

The poor old girl does look rather rough.

Thanks for the pics. Nice to see a tower still standing.

 

The unit behind 6092 isn't much better! Alex has some photos of the same lash- up in his railimages. I guess it's about the best that the work warrants. The last unit in the consist had a fairly fresh coat of csx blue on her. I grabbed a shot of it, but it wasn't the best.

 

The two leaders run much better than the third. Looks can be deceiving.
