Album Info:Today I went up to Warsaw in hopes to shoot the CFE Local Job west to Valparaiso today. Little did I know when I went up they would not be running west, rather east to work the industries on the other side of town. With that plan foiled I was told that CKIN would be running with a pair of the endangered SD-M DMIR painted units so I raced to Wellsboro and chased them south. I closed the day at Wellsboro along the CSX and CN grabbing some mainline action. Enjoy!

CFE 2095
Title:  CFE 2095
Description:  Today I went north to Warsaw to chase the westbound CFE Local out of Warsaw in hopes of shooting it by the Pennsy PLs which are supposedly in danger now. Unfortunately I didnt get my way and I soon figured out they wouldnt be running west, rather east to work the industries on the other side of town. I was pooped out on that, so I decided I would spend the day chasing the CKIN. Todays train would sport 2 DMIR painted SD-Ms so that would be a great way to rebound from a disappointing day. I ended up sitting in Warsaw for a good hour before I figured out what the CFE was going to do. During that time, a short lived shower went through, but it created this beautiful rainbow after it cleared, so I got some great rainbow shots with the local power!

CSX 1709
Title:  CSX 1709
Description:  Yet another rebuilt SD40-2 followed 3rd, but this one was one of the very few SD40E3 rebuilds. Most of these are used in yard service so I would assume this was either going somewhere for servicing or to its new yard.

BNSF 7145
Title:  BNSF 7145
Description:  With CSX traffic dying down and CN not producing anything at all, I figured this would be a good moment to go see what the South Shore was up to in Stillwell. Of course, as I began to move, I began to hear CSX Q370 calling signals, I was able to snag this shot from the US 35 overpass in Kingsford Heights.

CSX 150

Description:  CSX Q352 comes west with a YN2 GE and a SD70MACe on the point. CN had a northbound ready to come across so I assumed that would go first. I was wrong, which was why I ended up on the shadow side of the tracks.

CN 1501
Title:  CN 1501
Description:  Quite the surprise came across the diamonds next! This Budd Car built for CN in 1958 is what CN uses as their track geometry train. Today, the crew checked the line between Battle Creek and Griffith. Wasnt too sure if Id ever get to see this in person. I believe it is the oldest piece of track evaluating equipment (owned by a Class 1 Railway) that operates to this day.

Title:  BNSF 4118
Description:  With the light fading away, it was time to call it a night, but CSX Q171 was riding on the heels of Q191, so I decided to stick around for it. This train also featured a H2 Dash 9 on the point. Although I didnt get the PLs on the Pennsy like I had planned, Ill take a CKIN chase any day. Some great mainline action today as well!
