Waiting on a train in a fresh snowfall!

Well, we got probably another 3-5 inches of fresh snow this morning, February 18th, 2021, and while listening to my scanner and trying to decide if I wanted to venture down off the hill at my home I heard the Paducah and Louisville Railway local getting track warrants about 3 miles from the house.

I put on my boots and went dashing through the snow to put my drone up before it got to me! After getting it airborne I grabbed this aerial shot of my home from the sky before heading over the trees to setup my shot for the local heading north through Richland to Madisonville, Ky.

I'm posting the shot I got after this post so everyone can see what I was waiting on! Good things come to those who wait, even on a cold, snowy morning in Western Kentucky! Oh, yes, that's me in the middle of my driveway!

Nashville and Eastern railroad…

June 26, 2019 – Well, after searching for about two hours along the Nashville and Eastern railroad between and around Gordonsville and Cookeville, Tennessee I didn’t luck out and find a single train out working. I was able to catch this view of Carthage Junction at Gordonsville however, so it wasn’t a wasted trip! Photo was shot from a crossing. To the left goes into Gordonsville and the right towards Cookeville.
