New CN power
Title:  New CN power
Description:  A then new CN ES44 rolls 12T west at Tioga Center. By this time, the Canadian train had been resymbolled 30T and 31T, were rerouted onto the D&H from Binghamton. But 12T tended to get all kinds of foreign power, so even though CN units had been off the line for a couple of years on the regular trains, they could occasionally show up here.

Off the bridge
Title:  Off the bridge
Description:  A southbound intermodal train comes off the NS Memphis District bridge over the Tennessee River at Decatur. I had to run to get this shot. I was a block away looking at the antebellum Burleson Home when I saw the train coming over the bridge. Fortunately, its speed restricted, since Im not that fast any more. I got a little chain link in the photo, too, but such are the hazards of modern railfanning. Nice to see I can still run.

Run through Rock
Title:  Run through Rock
Description:  We like to get up to a couple of the National Wildlife Refuges in the central flyway in the fall. We held off this year due to the Covid pandemic, but finally decided wed do one overnight, rather than the two or three we usually do. The RV park was in Pratt, within earshot of the ex Rock Island Golden State route, so it was a pleasant surprise to come out to K 61 in the morning to find a stack train holding at the signal east of town. Hell shortly be on his way to El Paso and the SP across the desert.

Rolling hard
Title:  Rolling hard
Description:  Actually, this is one of the slower parts of the Transcon across the Texas panhandle. There is a hilly segment near Canadian, where the line crosses the Canadian River and its valley, making for some hard pulls. This 89 platform eastbound looks like it will make the grade.

Try to keep up
Title:  Try to keep up
Description:  I was driving east on US 60, and had followed this train since coming off Loop 335 in Amarillo. Id about get to the head end, then hit a town. Slow down to 40, lose ground, then catch up about the time Id have to slow down for another town. The speed limit was 70 for both trains and on the road, and these guys dont waste any time out here. This is a grab shot from US 60 near Pampa.

Getting ice
Title:  Getting ice
Description:  I was out getting ice and a few other things for my friends party, and saw this westbound waiting for traffic prior to getting out of town. Shot from the parking lot of the well placed ice machine. It would be the first of quite a few trains I would see that morning.
