Hey, how nice was it to NOT have anyone run out in your photoline while shooting?

I saw this engine in June when it was being restored. I can't wait to see them start on their ex-PRR E8A, they're going to paint it Illinois Central Orange and Chocolate Brown. If only NJ Transit had saved their ICRR E8A. I also heard a private owner has the first GP9 the ICRR ever bought.

[IC1034]

That's cool!

I went to the event on Sunday. This thing is cool to see crossing Camp Creek or at the top of the hill! Great video, too. There sure were a lot of people at the event.

[IC1034]

Oh yeah, sure wish I would have gone and chased this thing down to the depot. Definitely a lot of people, especially for 401. Thanks!

[DivergingClearVideo]

I shot the 3:50pm train as it pulled into the old Wabash depot in downtown Monticello. Great weekend, it was.

[IC1034]

Awesome. It definitely was great.

[23CSX1]

what railroad is this?

[IC1034]

Southern Railway.

[23CSX1]

@IC1034 is it still used as a freight railroad?

[IC1034]

No, they combined with Norfolk & Western back in 1982 to form Norfolk Southern.

[coffeefish]

Sweet, nice day for it.
