KCS 4605 leads ethanol tanks through Nortonville , Ky It's not everyday we get Kansas City Southern leading any kind of train on the CSX Henderson Subdivision, so when I got reports from friends up the line to the north that CSX K443 was southbound with two of them I had to get trackside and one of my plans was to catch it as a vertical shot of it snaking it's way through the S curve at Nortonville, Ky! Not sure why it's lights were off as it glided south on track one on January 30th, 2021, because when I caught it with the drone at the south end of Slaughters, Ky the main headlight and one ditch light were working. However here everything was out and the same applied when it hit Crofton and Kelly, Ky, even when it was blowing the crossings. At least the number boards were lit! I'm guessing something happened as they had to change out an engine once they got to Casky Yard in Hopkinsville, Ky. Tech Info: Nikon D800, RAW, Sigma 150-600 @170mm f/9, 1/800, ISO 900.
