On the afternoon of February 18, I caught CSX local job Y121 switching two of Zeeland's three active railroad customers. With fresh fallen snow from the weekend and clear, crisp blue skies, it was one of those rare west Michigan days every photographer hopes for!
CSX Bay Window caboose #904091, painted for Operation Lifesaver and Operation Redblock, moseys across the Elm Street crossing on the tail of Y121 after entering the MJ lead just east of State Street.
GP38-3 #2048 has two lumber loads for Zeeland Lumber. The conductor is cleaning the switch points before realigning to back the train onto the spur.
Ready to back onto the spur with caboose 904091 in the distance.
