The Missouri segment of the Transon is so cool! The ATSF signal bridges are still standing (not for long) and there are many nice angles. The bridge at Bayport Road is really cool. It's a shame they are taking it down.

It's been a while since I've posted photos on here, so I'm behind. I won't post all of my recent stuff, but feel free to go to my Flickr page to check out photos of NS and Amtrak heritage units, a plane-railfan flight, and BNSF at Essex, MT.
However, I will post one of the best heritage unit...

CP Gevos in the Storm Light by stlgevo51, on Flickr
I'm guessing this was the train you saw. This shot was taken near Centralia that Friday as we were driving home from chasing another train on the line:

The KCS sees two intermodal trains each way per day, the IVNKC and IKCVN "Schneider Flyer" trains. In addition, they also run MVNKC and MKCVN trains a couple of times per week each. The NS St. Louis District sees around 10 trains on average through Mexico.

Cool catches! Looks like a fun and productive day.

Thanks for the kind words guys! NS 5406 is still kicking in CR blue. In fact, I just saw a bunch of photos of it leading a train in Altoona over the weekend. One of the other three CR blue units has been repainted in the last three months, so it is only a matter of time before 5406 has the same...

I have been busy and haven't had a lot of time as of late to upload, so now that I have some free time I will just share all of my recent stuff at once.
The first is from early December when one of only 4 Conrail painted SD50s made its way to St. Louis. I caught it on St. Louis-Wentzville, MO...

Cool catch. It's awesome to see three tunnel motors in three paint schemes.
-
You did well. Lucky for you NS put them on the point. It looks like you were both lucky and good on those chases!
-
Looks familiar. I was at Old Monroe shooting this same train meeting a northbound manifest. I, too, had some great light. Nice shot Bill.
-
Thanks guys! Yes, the street running is from La Grange, KY.

Next is a morning chase of the Penn Central heritage unit on grain train 54A. The lead unit, NS 8000, is the class unit for NS' ES44ACs, and I caught it back in September trailing the Wabash heritage unit (odd how that works out). Strangely enough, the train hit a semi truck in Mt. Carmel, IL...

Hi all,
I haven't posted much lately as I have been busy. Since I have a lot of shots not yet posted here I thought I might as well show them now.
First up are shots from my trip to Louisville, KY, way back in October.

Nice catches! You really packed them in.

Both of those shots are cool, but I really like the first one. Nice shots and catches.

Ns 8098
The final shots are of the NS' Conrail heritage unit on an MOW extra from Saturday. I arrived to late to catch it nose-first, but I guess I'll settle for long hood forward. The train was met by 4 BNSF Grinstein MACs while it waited to get onto the BNSF. I wish I would have went up...
-
I've been busy lately so I haven't posted here a lot. To catch up I will share some of my catches from the last 30 days.
I will first start with Pacific, MO, Railroad Days, featuring UP 1982. The Mopac was in town because the city was being added to the "TrainTown USA" registry. I missed some...

A week later, I got an early morning wake up call saying that NS 1070, the Wabash unit, was leading train 111 back through St. Louis from Kansas City. I ran out of the house and met my friend Mark at Mid Rivers to catch it, and then chased it to the Missouri River Bridge. The consist also...

On Thursday, September 6th, NKP 765 arrived at the yard in Berkeley, MO, with NS 1070 and NS 1072 (the Wabash and Illinois Terminal heritage units) for a weekend of employee appreciation specials. Each day, the NKP 765 would lead the train 20 miles to St. Charles at 9 am and noon, and the...
