A cloudy day in Northern Ohio & Indian

Unread post by gp302 »

Clouds don't stop trains from running.
Started the day arriving at Butler at about 7:45.
Didn't have to wait long. the first four trains I have no pictures for.

8:20 NS 206 NS 9193 & NS 9191
8:20 NS 11K NS ????(Primer) & NS 9835?

After that quick spurt I decided to head down to the CSX. At CR 75 bridge I caught two west bound frieghts.
8:45 W.B. frieght CSXT 8770, CSXT 8317,& CSXT 15??

8:58 W.B. frieght CSXT 8467 & CSXT 7722

On my way back to the Chicago Line I shoot the local is switching out SDI.

I here Q390 & Q396 clear St. Joe so I know I missed them. Just kept heading back to Butler. As soon as i get back an NS West bound frieght clears MP 358.
9:40 W.B. frieght NS 8601 & BNSF 4747

10:00 NS 35N takes the turn south w/ PRR 8373 & NS 7066

10:10 NS 21A follows w/ NS 9819 & NS ????

1:49 NS 16E NS 9964 & Rent-a-wreck

Only had one shot left and heard the road railer heading up the Wabash so I decided to try and catch him(yea right). Ended up in Montpilier where I shot a side by side(not moving) dont have # yet cause it was a jump out, shoot, & leave.

Last train I saw was NS 191 crossing US127 with two NS Locos to far to catch #s.
I know that I have missed a few locomotive #s but its pretty difficult taking a picture than catching the # at 70mph.
Though it was cloudy the amount of trains made up for it. Will have pictures as soon as funds allow (if ya know what I mean). Hope you enjoy.
