| CSX train R334-10 (Grand Rapids-Walbridge) with an ex-Louisville & Nashville C30-7 up front is eastbound approachinng the Chubb Road crossing in Salem, Michigan at around 3:30 pm. This photo location was one of last resort for eastbounds as I could get to it at very short notice from my house, about a minute away.. My preference is to have some kind of physical structure or natural feature to provide definition, and evidence, of a given location, But to catch a C30-7 leader Ill take the featurless mainline. He would have beat me to the hamlet of Salem had I tried to catch him there. The Red Wing blackbirds songs filled the air on this afternoon, heralding the coming of Spring.. |
