The afternoon sun moves more toward the southwest where it illuminates the ice-covered trees surrounding Gum Lick Trestle as loaded coal train CSX N319 makes its way south, between Kelly and Crofton, Kentucky on the CSX Henderson Subdivision on February 5th, 2022. CSX N319 runs between Sugar Camp Mine (Akin, IL) on the EVWR to Santee Cooper's Cross Generating Station in Cross, SC, via Chattanooga, TN I spent the better part of the whole day waiting for CSX to send a northbound train my way, as the light was better for showing the ice-covered trees due to the winter storm that moved across the region. However, it wasn’t to be and so to make the best of the situation this is one of several going away shots I made that day. Don’t get me wrong, I like going away shots and I’m very happy with how this one came out, but there were several shots I had lined up for this ice storm event that just didn’t get captured like I wanted. There’ll be other times and situations though!
