Album Info:Today I spent the day with some friends chasing the CCET Railroad east in Cincinnati to document the still standing Norfolk and Western Color Position Light Signals. Despite having bags over the heads, I have never shot N&W CPL style signals before, and grabbing some old standard cab GE and EMD Power by them was always a grabber for me. We got them working along with some other successful catches around the Cincinnati area. Enjoy!

CCET 5895
Title:  CCET 5895
Description:  We took our time getting some shots of the signals at Batavia, and when we got on the road we met the train at its destination at the small yard in Afton, where they would work at Hutamaki and some yard work before heading back to Ancor. We would not make the chase back as I wanted to check some other things around the Cincinnati area.

CCET 5895
Title:  CCET 5895
Description:  Another bracket signal sits at the west side of the yard in Afton. This one, however, is bagged, but at least it faces the direction we needed. A good chase along the CCET! Our next stop would be the IORY in Norwood.

IORY 2101
Title:  IORY 2101
Description:  After getting some lunch at Wendys in Afton we made our way back west to Norwood. Not a lot was going on in the IORY Yard, but I figured it would be worth a check anyway. IORY 2101 was parked on the far track with a string of cars, what I would assume is or would be the job to NS at Sharonville.

IORY 3494, IORY 3493, and IORY 5014
Title:  IORY 3494, IORY 3493, and IORY 5014
Description:  IORY 3493 was shuffling around the yard, but showed no signs of building a train or leaving with a train. IORY 3493 sits in the back on the right and IORY 5014 can be seen behind IORY 3493. With no ensuing plans of a train coming out, we decided to head to metro Cincinnati for some Class 1 action.

CSX 8467
Title:  CSX 8467
Description:  Since TJ had never gotten to experience railfanning near a large railyard, we decided to see what we could find on the Hopple St. overpass, which gives a good view of the north throat of CSXs Queensgate Yard. Several RC Jobs with SD40-2s were working, but most of the engines were facing the wrong direction like this one.

NS 3607
Title:  NS 3607
Description:  After some debating, we decided to conclude our day watching trains around Winton Place (mostly because I knew where I was going and knew how to get there). Some other local railfan friends joined us and we got to see a fair amount of traffic pass. First off was NS 178 heading north. A Skyline Chilli billboard stands tall beside I75 which is right off to the left. Hands down the best chilli in all of Cincinnati.

NS 8110
Title:  NS 8110
Description:  We moved to the other side of the tracks since we knew we had both NS and CSX southbounds coming, but the NS would get to Winton Place first. And it did. NS 8110 leads NS 123 south.

CSX 8004

Title:  NS 4113 and NS 7708
Description:  After CSX J783 cleared we crossed to the other side of the tracks, looked to our right and saw the DPU of NS 123 and an NS local that had appeared out of nowhere.

IORY 3491
Title:  IORY 3491
Description:  We got word that the IORY Norwood-Queensgate turn was nearby, and sure enough just down from the Winton Place signals sat the train in excellent sunlight.

IORY 3491
Title:  IORY 3491
Description:  We figured that the train would sit where it was for a while, as Queensgate usually keeps the IORY out for long periods of time, but believe it or not as we were leaving the signal blipped green and we raced back to Winton Place where we shot it coming under the CPL Cantilever. Since it was getting dark AJ, TJ, and I decided it was time to call it quits and start heading back home. We dropped AJ off where he met us near Middletown and TJ and I began to follow the New Castle District back toward Muncie.

Title:  BNSF 9147
Description:  BNSF 9147 was the sole leader for NS 28K. Quite the loud K5LLA Ill add. Breaking the evening silence of smalltown Ohio.

NS 9872
Title:  NS 9872
Description:  We were able to make it all the way just into Indiana to set up shop at Gravel Pit Road in Richmond for NS 25A. After NS 25A things got quiet so we decided to hit the highway and head straight for home. A great day trackside with great friends covering some new territory! The N&W brackets were a bucket list item for this year, along with the CSX B23-7s. Very happy with how everything turned out, especially the shot at Batavia! Until next time!
