November 30, 2019 – Spent a good deal of the day chasing trains in the rail with fellow railfan photographer Cooper Smith today with his new camera! While we had spells of light rain, most of it was the opposite! I really enjoy getting trackside during bad weather as it gives the photos a much different look and afterall, railroads operate in all kinds of weather!
Here we see CSX Intermodal Q025-30 as it heads past Moore at the south end of Guthrie, Ky as it makes it’s way south on the Henderson Subdivision.
Hardest thing about railfanning in bad weather is getting out the door! I keep a pair of golf umbrellas in my SUV all the time just for this type of weather! Lens hoods are also a good thing to have along with a large microfiber cloth for drying the mist from your equipment in the event you get some on it!
