Southbound military move at Slaughters and Nortonville, Ky

A short video from February 20th, 2021 on the Henderson Subdivision as W809 heads south with a load of military vehicles at Slaughters and Nortonville, Ky.

In the second clip the train finally crawled to a stop just south of Nortonville with CSXT 5473 and 3348 leading the 5,000+ load of military vehicles elephant style, to wait for another northbound Q648.

CSX southbound intermodal at Guthrie, Ky CSXT 3392 leads hot intermodal Q025-23 as it climbs the grade coming out of the south end of Guthrie, Kentucky after meeting a northbound on the Henderson Subdivision on the afternoon of February 23rd, 2021. The train is running much later than usual as there were delays along it's route today. This is one of the hottest trains on the Henderson Subdivision and the bosses do not like for it to be delayed as it can cost the railroad money! However, things do happen, and trains do get delayed sometimes, it's a fact of life. This little jog in the track as they come out of Guthrie is a favorite long lens shot of mine. I like how it looks when it makes the jog coming up the slight grade past the signals on the south end. I like to use my 1.4 teleconverter on my Sigma 150-600mm lens to get this shot and you can only pull it off if the weather is cool, otherwise you get a lot of heat distortion, which can produce an interesting photo as well. Technical details are below. Tech Info: Nikon D800, RAW, Sigma 150-600 @600mm f/9 1/1600, ISO 800.
