B36-7 Parade On the Henderson Sub by Chuck Hinrichs

February 17, 2010 Jim Pearson No Comments Chuck Hinrichs, Photo Section

Chuck Hinrichs caught this northbound CSX manifest at Latham early afternoon January 23, 2010, with four  CSX B36-7s in the consist.  Chuck – “A lot of these old warhorses have been pulled from the roster and I wonder where these four might be headed.”  Ed. – from looks of the cover on the trailing unit, the vintage GEs are probably dead in tow. – Photos by Chuck Hinrichs

Chasing down the Morganfield Branch

November 18, 2009 Jim Pearson No Comments Bill Thomas, Photo Section
Certainly not the greatest fall shot I’ve ever taken, but interesting enough to make me chase it down the Morganfield Branch to get a shot of it behind People Plus on 41A, just west of Madisonville. For quick shots in a pinch, the i-phone does ok. This is simply a front-end-loader with small rail wheels attached to the bucket’s bottom. The rear tires seemed to have no guidance devices other than possibly being a little under-inflated to keep them centered on the rails. Not sure. -Bill Thomas

I (Chuck Hinrichs) was at Guthrie yesterday afternoon and caught R J Corman/Railpower Genset (Railpower #2406 RP20BD ) in fresh red paint outside the shop building. R J Corman acquired the assets of Railpower earlier this year and 2406 has been on lease to UP but is now in the RJC fold.
