March 9, 2019 – A rainbow appears to end on the CSX Henderson Subdivision at Trenton, Ky after a heavy storm passes through the area. Unfortunately with the signals red in both directions I wasn’t lucky enough catch a northbound train approaching me at the crossing at the north end of the Trenton siding. Still, it’s not always about a train, is it! – #jimstrainphotos #kentuckyrailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #csx #csxrailroad
March 9, 2019 – NC&StL Steam Locomotive sits under stormy skies in downtown Nashville, TN, as workers inspect it after stopping for a display at Union Station. After several hours on display the locomotive was then towed on its own wheels to the restoration facility at the Tennessee Central Railway Museum, where it will undergo and estimated two years of restoration.
The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway was a railway company operated in the southern United States in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. It began as the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, chartered in Nashville in December 11, 1845, built to 5 ft (1,524 mm) gauge and was the first railway to operate in the state of Tennessee. By the turn of the twentieth century, the NC&StL grew into one of the most important railway systems in the southern United States.

February 23, 2019 – CSX grain train G235-22 heads toward the north end of Slaughters, through the falling rain, as it heads south on the Henderson Subdivision at Slaughters, Kentucky. I love the ability my 150-600 mm Sigma lens gives me to pull subjects in close, even though they are far away. This is at 400mm from the crossing, which gave me plenty of time to get my shot and move safely out of the way.
Train photos don’t always have to be 3/4 view and close-up! Wide and long shots can be just as effective. I think the key here is trying to get something different when you’re out shooting. That’s why when I’m out railfanning, I’m ready to move somewhere else after I’ve got a train or two at the same spot. Variety makes for more interesting photos! – #jimstrainphotos#kentuckyrailroads#trains#nikond800#railroad#railroads#train#railways#railway#csx#csxrailroad
