Locomotive: South Central Tennessee EMD GP7	Location/Date of Photo: Somewhere out in the sticks Lyles, Tennessee, USA April 25, 1986
Locomotive No./Train ID SCTC 5712 Unknown	Photographer: Sid Vaught Contact Sid Vaught + Add to Favorites

Remarks: This real hard scrapple shortline railroading in the 80s. The ex CR unit is leading a fully painted Bellefonte Central unit. Paint jobs are expensive. This railroad is really rural and actually goes through Grinder's Switch, made famous by Minnie Pearl.

Locomotive: R.J. Corman Railroads EMD GP9	Location/Date of Photo: Old Beam Distillery Clermont, Kentucky, USA November 13, 1988
Locomotive No./Train ID RJCR 9002 Unknown	Photographer: Sid Vaught Contact Sid Vaught + Add to Favorites

Remarks: It's a crisp fall day and the unit of the other end has failed so a trainman requested a ride to get 9002 at the new distillery. We fired up 9002, got her out on the main and turned the brunch train in to a "no-push-pull" train. In a couple of weeks my free tickets arrived! Classy operation even before the Fs and the new dining car.

Remarks: One of the classiest dinner trains around is making its leisurely way through the bucolic scenery of central Kentucky, Nelson County, the bourbon capital of the world as attested to by the old distillery on the left.

Locomotive: Norfolk Southern EMD SD40-2	Location/Date of Photo: Passenger Station Abingdon, Virginia, USA January 28, 2010
Locomotive No./Train ID NS 3204 Unknown	Photographer: Sid Vaught Contact Sid Vaught + Add to Favorites

Remarks: Let's call this one "Shootin' the moon in the afternoon". Our enlightened town leaders and others have slowly created a great photo venue with the passenger station, the old store, the station, the caboose, an 1957-original N&W house and the great pedestrial overpass. Thanks everyone. Here V40 is just heading west to Bristol after switching Light Milling. And that is Luna herself over the unit. Check your star charts.

Locomotive No./Train ID OHCR 4025 Unknown	Photographer: Sid Vaught Contact Sid Vaught + Add to Favorites

Remarks: Where else do you get to see an F-40PH on a coal train. I loved the old Ohio Central. Crews said the ex-AMT unit was virtually useless with the high gearing. Here the train is about to enter the dump building. Rotating dumper?, bottom dump?. Nope. Big track hoe on second floor with big scoop unloading into trucks to take just across the road! Whatever works.

Remarks: Now this was a passenger train that looks like one. Not likely to be mistaken for an overgrown segmented worm. Thanks for the excellent events and hospitality to Jerry Joe and all OHCR employees.

Remarks: The company liked this portrait enough to put in on display in the office. And she's an ex-N&W from up home.

Remarks: The signal protects the diamond but over which RR I do not remember. These units have just dropped a train. Boy, CF-7s are coyote ugly.

Remarks: One of two used for road power, this one is looking a bit worse for wear. I wonder what happened to the waterside location during Hurricane Katrina.

Locomotive No./Train ID MSRC 4248 Unknown	Photographer: Sid Vaught Contact Sid Vaught + Add to Favorites

Remarks: Lettered for Southrail, a KCS invention, this unit heads a long string of power awaiting something to do. Southrail just sort of came and went and this was probably about the only scheme they ever had.
