Am I tripping? Haha 😂 Nope, just a rare occurence with the Norfolk Southern Interstate heritage unit leading a CSX grain train (!) southbound on the coast line, slipping thru the Inman tunnel and underneath its home rails of NS’s Inman Yard. // Atlanta, GA, January 2024

After the storm at Howell Wye // I’m currently in the process of going through my older photos from 2022–2024 from the big peach, and man, do some of these bring back good memories. This one was from earlier, during the summer of 2022, when everything felt new and exciting, and the idea of photographing yet another train at Howell Wye still felt remarkably exciting. After a classic summer thunderstorm, the setting sun is just beginning to peek through the cloud cover as an NS intermodal train, led by a pair of Union Pacific engines, departs Inman Yard and passes Howell Wye.

In the post-Covid summer of 2022, CSX ethanol loads B647, bound for Lawrenceville, arrive at the railplant in Atlanta, GA, with a colorful mix of power from several different Class I railroads. I had a lot of fun posting updates and working with fellow railfans in the area to nab this train as it later departed for the CSX Abbeville subdivision. Those were good times, and my, how time flies.

Queen City Warbonnet // A surprise visitor came through Cincinnati, OH today on CSX train B631! In my opinion, the Warbonnet paint scheme is one of the most iconic and elegant schemes to have ever graced the side of a locomotive. Although the engine was unfortunately trailing, I made every attempt to frame it with the Cincinnati skyline as the train crossed the Ohio River into Covington, KY. // Aug 30th, 2026

Late Summer Afternoons with the Delaware & Hudson // Several weeks ago, NS 1080, celebrating the Delaware & Hudson Railway, led northbound NS 28C out of Cincinnati, OH -- seen here coming into West Chester township amidst lush foliage and tall grass blowing in that gentle summer breeze. // Aug. 2026

Queen City Eclipse // Taking a quick break from railroad-content to share my take on the recent lunar eclipse. PLEASE NOTE: This is a stitched image! After hearing of the lunar eclipse, I had wondered what it might have looked like with the Cincinnati skyline. However, the moon’s actual path would not have yielded this view. At the peak of the eclipse, the moon was much higher in the sky. However, with a bit of Photoshop, I was able to combine two of my images together, creating the scene I had originally envisioned 😁 // Aug. 27-28, 2026

Paducah & Louisville Heritage in the Queen City // My last photo had shown Paducah & Louisville’s (PAL) newest US 250th anniversary engine entering Cincinnati under the cover of night, fresh from the Huntington, WV shops. At the time, I had wondered when the engine would head south toward Louisville. About a week later, I got my answer. PAL 1776 showed up trailing second on southbound M573, seen here making its way through Covington, KY, with plenty of late afternoon light and the Cincinnati skyline in the background. Quite a different scene from my first encounter with this unit, but a fitting ending for PAL 1776's trip through this region. // August 2026

Paducah & Louisville Railway's new America 250 commemorative locomotive recently rolled through Cincinnati, OH during the evening hours. Fresh out of the Huntington, WV paint shop, the engine sure looked sharp even under the low light. While the engine has not been formally debuted yet, I'm sure it won't be long until we hear an official announcement from the P&L...! // August 2026, Cincinnati, OH.
