April 6, 2017 – CSX empty coal train E303-04 northbound at Slaughters, Ky

April 6, 2017 – It was a wet and soggy day with threatening skies still looming overhead, but at least it stopped raining long enough for me to catch this shot of empty coal train CSX E303-04 heading south with 403, 266 and 8782 leading the charge, as they headed north past the siding at Slaughters, Ky on the Henderson Subdivision. Getting out and shooting trains in bad weather can be more difficult, but it can make for some great scenes and after all, trains run in all kinds of weather!
