    And they're not too shabby!

    Yeah,it took me 19 days,but hey,when you don't live near the line,what can ya do?

    Was coming home from Louisville,when I spotted this sitting just south of the crossing at the south exit of Osborn Yard.

    Was taking shots of the waiting northbound when I saw lights coming out of Osborn.

    My wait paid off.

    We just missed each other. Cause we left once Q215 called the hump general in the yard and we went out to brooks to get a pic.

    Think I saw you in Brooks. You was about to cross the street after the train passed. I was in that green car.

    Oh was I walking acrossed the road? If so that woulda been me. I waited 10-15mins in like 20 degree weather for 215 to come on. I got a good pic that ill post on here tommorow night. 215 come barreling past me and when he did I kinda got a scare. Some guy in a mustang stopped on the tracks as 215 was coming and I thought for sure I was gonna shoot someone that was about to win the darwin award. The engineer wasnt to happy.

    Went to Louisville today for a non-train related thing. That didn't work out,so I went back by the rails and waited for a short bit this afternoon. Stuff wasn't as good as Saturday's,but eh.

    I wouldn't call a tunnel motor in good condition a bad catch...

    No, not a bad catch, but not unusual around here since the aluminum trains started running.
