Shortly after crossing the Ohio River, CSX train Q506 is seen passing the pair of CPLs in downtown Covington. I was expecting the SD50 / SD40 pair from Q351, but they decided to add a Gevo oh joy.... Photo was taken with a 2x teleconverter at 600mm! Nov 3, 2018

Q541 approaches the interlocking at Frantz leading to the double track into Corbin. I did not get the sharpest image trying to play with 600mm freehanded, but I don’t see many photos from this line so I figured it was worthwhile. Nov 3, 2018

Another day at the TTI with a whole lot of nothing going on. They are left with one transload customer within the yard and have a handful of stored coal cars shoved up the main a few mines. I think the only hope for this railroad is for Kentucky coal to completely dry up making CSX want to sell the old L&N because its "not profitable enough". Apr 22, 2020
