This is the first CSX train i have seen in ages that wasn't the local. They had been doing track work for a couple weeks before hand and then they had to shut the line down on the 17th due to a Mulch fire that had gotten close to the mainline.

It's the Cincinnati to Bradenton Juice / Intermodal train

Here's a first for me. A NS unit coal train. I've caught several CSX unit coals but never NS

Also some SD70ACe unit's. My favorite modern diesel

Uh....is this ok?

Also another Unit Coal Train, this for CSX.

Nice shots David. FRED's ok, that's the rotary coupler end of that car

The intermodal/juice train is Q041/Q042 I think? Used to be Q141/Q142. I guess you're somewhere near the KD Subdivision or whatever it's called after you reach Knoxville. It's KD from Corbin to Knoxville, CC Sub is north of Corbin. Some very scenic places through that area.

Nice photos - I've never seen a rotary coupler do that! Nice catch.

Nice shots, I like the CSXT#5342 under the bridge, cool pic.

@David

You ever have any problems filming from that area? (ie, rr police, local pd etc)??

 

[Davidellias]

I've never had one issue with the police(There was one time, but that was my fault). In fact there are a some cops that use that under pass behind me to take a quick nap.
