I caught this SB pig headed through Hattiesburg this afternoon with a brand new Tier 4 unit trailing. Lumberton is one of my favorite curve shots on this line. The tracks really lean in and go d... (more)

The afternoon cleared up just in time for the Gulfport/Hattiesburg local to make its return trip through Perkinston by the MGCCC campus.

Delaplane is a shot that everyone and their brother seemed to want to get. Shortly after Delaplane is this shot coming into Rectortown, and it was a little less crowded. 611 makes her way back t... (more)

Pre 09/11/01 getting a cab shot was pretty common, especially if you were a little kid with your dad. Getting a ride around the Manassas yard, maybe not as common, but it happened! I got to blow... (more)

I caught a loaded coal today leaving Jackson. While originally thinking I'd be catching photos of it on the Beaumont Sub, I then saw it was heading down the 2nd mainline towards NOLA. Much more ... (more)

It was a beautiful, warm day to be the first day of December and this pair of engines was setting up to do a little yard work.

The last shot of the day was taken with the last bit of light available.

This is one of my favorite shots in Vicksburg. It'd been forever since I had a chance to get it, but I finally did.
