Digital shots from NS' ex-WLE line in Kingsway near Fremont We caught a meet
by pure dumb luck on the way to Fremont. The scanner went off and then went
off again and a detector went off so we headed for the tracks!
I'm still getting the hang of shooting railfan action digitals with this
camera so the quality isn't as good as a 35mm, but it is sure handy to carry
around :)

Maumee, Ohio evening grab shot switching Anderson's warehouse, March 10, 2001.
Saw the high nose and had to try a shot! 600x412 JPEG 54kb File="img_0270.jpg" Size=56079 |

Minutes after we pulled up this eastbound rolled up to the grade crossing near MP 32 on NS' ex-W&LE line at 4:40pm.
Hard to see in this shot, but his train extends around the curve to the right in the background. I wish I had my 35mm with the 600mm telephoto with me for this shot! 800x502 JPEG 129kb File="img_0273.jpg" Size=132799 |

Same train, different angle.

Blowing like crazy for the crossing...

And passing the eastbound with a grubby ex-CR B23-7 trailing.

The tail end of the unit coke train screams past the eastbound at a crisp 60 per.

The Fremont detector had just gone off so we waited for another westbound, seen here splitting the Kingsway signals at 5:10pm.
I really wish I had more zoom on that digital camera! 600x528 JPEG 76kb File="img_0280.jpg" Size=78091 |

No time for the wedgie on this one as I was getting yelled at by some supervisor on the fibre crew working close by.
I'm such a danger hunter standing on the grade crossing 1/4 mile from the train! The C40-9W is doing close to track speed for the meet. 800x390 JPEG 83kb File="img_0281.jpg" Size=85477 |

The eastbound finally gets under way so we race it to the other side of Kingsway and catch it at a grade crossing near MP 33 at 5:19pm ias the light begins to fade.
I miscalculated the sun angle on this one and didn't have time to set up, on the run grab shot, but it's a highnose SD40 and they won't last a lot longer! 900x357 JPEG 77kb File="img_0282.jpg" Size=79250 |

Going away shot....

And moving back up to the crossing for a look back toward the Kingsway signal for the passing siding.
