September 18, 2018 – Not something you see every day! CSX Q500 came through this afternoon with a rare sight on the end of it! CSX 900401 Operation Red Block safety caboose! Here it’s pulling out of the siding at the north end of Slaughters, Ky as it heads north on the Henderson Subdivision. – #jimstrainphotos #kentuckyrailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #csx #csxrailroad
September 12, 2018 – CSX Q501-12 pulls past the signals at the north end of Hybird at Howell Yard in Evansville, Indiana with shrink wrapped NREX 122, 123, 124 & 125 trailing behind CSXT 3076 and 536 as it heads south on the Henderson Subdivision. Just four days later these NREX units ended up on the ground, between Peedee and Lilesville, NC after a derailment due to a washout from the rains from Hurricane Florence. Fortunately the engine carrying the crew (not the one pictured here) did not derail and they only suffered minor injuries.
From what I’m told the NREX Units that are Export SD40-3 rebuilds for Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée, The Republic of Guinea, are all on the ground and are probably a total loss.- #jimstrainphotos #indianarailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #csx #csxrailroad

September 16, 2018 – Day 321 – iPhone 7 Plus Daily B/W Photo Challenge – Almost Church Time – Jayden, Sis, Elaina, Jeanne and Damion all occupy their time as they wait for church to begin! Nothing does my heart better than seeing everyone here and Journey and Jordan are downstairs in the nursery. I’m so glad that our kids enjoy coming to church!
