    Railfanning while on vacation (August 2nd-August 5th)

    While on vacation from work, I got lucky with the typical heat this time of year also taking a bit of a "break". I went trackside for a few days and did alright with the local railroads. CSX W089, Sonora,KY 8/2/2021 by Jeff Wagoner, on Flickr CSX K562-02, Sonora,KY 8/2/2021 by Jeff Wagoner...

    Roadtrip to Illinois 12/15 & 12/16/2017

    Having two consecutive days off from work, I decided to get out and get away from the usual railroading here in Kentucky (CSX and NS, and mostly widecab power belonging to them) this past weekend and travel to Illinois for a little variety. I was not disappointed. CN/IC 3106 South, Dongola...

    Two encounters with Union Pacific's Rio Grande Heritage Unit

    Over the last 10 days or so, Union Pacific's Rio Grande heritage unit has passed through Kentucky on several occasions. I managed to catch it on two different trains on Norfolk Southern on two different days, with varying results as far as the weather is concerned. Most of it turned out pretty...

    A couple rainy days on the CNO&TP.

    I decided not to let the weather slow down my efforts to get out to see trains running. On Tuesday I found out that NS 289 would be coming down the CNO&TP with an Illinois Central SD70 in the famed "Death Star" paint scheme leading. I waited for it at Burgin and got another shot of it and a few...

    Chasing 611, Roanoke,VA 5/27-5/29/2017

    Chased 611 over the weekend around Roanoke,VA. Shots aren't the best, with the weather not cooperating and me being fairly unfamiliar with the area. Crowds don't help matters either. IMG_4939 by Jeff Wagoner, on Flickr IMG_4966 by Jeff Wagoner, on Flickr NS 958, Montgomery, VA 5/28/2017 by...

    A few quick shots on the Paducah and Louisville (5/19/2017)

    Went out yesterday to catch a Paducah and Louisville rock train working with PAL's Military units leading. Get to the train (over an hour from my house) to find that my camera's battery was dead. Drove back home, and gave it another shot today. The military units were a lot closer to home...
