March 31, 2020 - A CSX bridge work crew keeps a watchful eye and sends a friendly wave to the crew of CSX as Q502 crosses over the Craborchard Creek bridge, as CSXT mobile crane 916100 sits idle, as the manifest heads north through their work zone on the Henderson Subdivision at Nortonville, Ky. The crane is an AMERICAN Model 840 Locomotive Crane with a pile driver attached. The bridge crew is working on installing new pilings for the bridge over Craborchard Creek using the pile driver attached to the crane. I'll be posting a video on the operation later today if you're interested in seeing and hearing it work. Here's more information on the crane if you're interested: http://aolcrane.com/pdfs/840850debrochure.pdf

March 31, 2020 - Another of several photos I found on my old Mac G4 Laptop that I shot back in 2006 with my old Nikon D200 and thought I'd share a few of them. This mornings image was shot on June 20, 2006 and is of two BNSF intermodals making their way east and west through the Cajon Pass in Southern California on the Cajon Subdivision.

March 30, 2020 - I stumbled across this image and several others on my old Mac G4 Laptop that I shot back in 2006 with my old Nikon D200 and thought I'd share a few of them. This one is from June 6, 2006 of BNSF 4419 leading a business train east bound through Sullivan's Curve just west of Cajon Junction in southern California, headed to Barstow, CA. From the Web we learn that “Sullivan's Curve is where the Union Pacific Palmdale Cutoff, and the BNSF mains 1 and 2 curve in a large horseshoe curve directly next to some large, rather impressive, rock formations. Promotional photos taken at this curve for the Santa Fe in the 1930’s through the 1950’s by photographer Herb Sullivan were fantastic, and made famous by their composition. The curve that he used so frequently was named in his honor, and rightfully so.”

March 25, 2020 - BNSF 6855 leads CSX K423-24 as it makes its way through the S curve Anaconda, approaching the Peddler McDonald grade crossing, south of Robards, Kentucky on track 2, as it heads south on the Henderson Subdivision with a loaded ethanol train. A big shoutout to all the fellow fans that gave me heads up on this move! It was good to be able to keep my social distance by railfanning alone and also nice to get out of the house for the first time in three days, with nice weather finally to boot! Stay safe out there everyone and wash your hands!
