Northbound Geometry Train

Emergency, Emergency, Emergency

CSX Q648, with Metra rebuilt unit 213, went into emergency about 7 miles after I captured this scene at Trenton, Kentucky on the Henderson Subdivision. 

I first caught this train at Guthrie and got ahead of it for this shot at Trenton. I was hoping to get another shot at Casky Yard, but unfortunately the train went into emergency under stormy skies and after the conductor walked the train he found a broken air hose that caused the problem.

I had hoped to catch it at the north end of Casky when it got underway, but I left them searching for a replacement hose in the yard as I figured it was going to be dark before they got moving again! It's the way it goes sometime, but I'm very pleased how this shot turned out! A big shout out to fellow railfans down the line for the heads up on this move!
