CSX 6075 |
| Description: |
Happy foggy morning from Lima, OH, and by foggy I mean VERY foggy! Today I decided I would test my luck with the IORY LSL south out of Lima, OH as it is a chase I have been wanting to do for quite some time. On my drive into Ohio, things got very foggy, but I didnt let that stop me from seeing some trains! I got into Lima, and CSX J783 was preparing to depart the yard for Cincinnati with a Geep leading two standard cab 6 axles on the Robb Ave. overpass. The fog was quite thick as you can see. |

CSX 544 |
| Description: |
I had gotten into town quite early and the LSL usually doesnt leave until around noon so I had some time to stick out on the Toledo Sub to see what might happen in the time I had. I sat at NS Tower and after a little waiting CSX W026 came south with a single AC4400CW and loaded welded rail cars. |

CSX 4021 |
| Description: |
With all the extra time I had I wasnt going to just shoot a trio of CSX Standard Cabs leading a road freight once in a fairly general location. So, I decided to keep up with them going north. I decided to at least grab them by the South Cairo CPLs then I would head back. However, a lesson learned, always check your camera settings. I severely overexposed every shot to a point that none of them were salvageable. So, now I had to try to get out ahead of it again. Despite the train being 800+ axles long, the EMDs on the head end made sure they hauled that train well, as it was going pretty close to track speed. After a little daredeviling I was able to get back out ahead of them shorty before South Ottawa and got them coming by the bracket and the dwarf for the IORY. |

LIMA 8000A |
| Description: |
I decided not to try to follow Q508 any further north as it was so hard to try to get a 2nd time to begin with. So, I made my way back to Lima. CFE 08 had been given track to go west to Fort Wayne and I tried my hardest to get back to it, but it was already gone before I could get back into town. However, the repowered ALCO S4 was working at the Cargill Elevator! The first time Ive seen it online! |

| Description: |
I decided to head up to Husky Refinery to see if RJ Corman had arrived. And sure, enough they had. I had a small gap in traffic to take their photo. But as I was I realized I had made a huge mistake as I heard horns from the IORY Tracks. Not sure why I didnt just bail at this point but I decided to wait around as it seemed a little too early to be the LSL leaving. |

At this point I knew that I was probably not going to see the IORY train anywhere between Lima and Quincy so I made a dart for the diamond at Quincy. Thankfully for me CSX was quite busy at that moment so I was able to settle down and get some traffic. Right after I arrived CSX Q216 came east with a solo GEVO and a very long string of autoracks. |

IORY 3488 |
| Description: |
While waiting for CSX trains I heard the IORY dispatcher come over the radio and give a TA to IORY 3488 south at Lima so I was flooded with relief that I hadnt missed the LSL. So, I began following the tracks north. I got just north of Uniopolis when I saw a headlight, so I turned right back around and drove to just south of Saint Johns. I set up shop at Geyer Road and seconds later I heard the roar of EMD Prime Movers. Then a K3LA. Then I felt the feeling of shock, as around the corner popped the BN Painted SD40-2. I had completely forgotten that IORY 3488 was the engine that was still painted in BN paint. This just made my chase about 100 times more exciting, and important. The chase was on! |

| Description: |
The train receives clearance right across the CSX at Quincy so I went straight down to the high bridge where the tracks cross the Great Miami River. Unfortunately, southbound are almost impossible to shoot across this bridge, and southbounds are usually the only trains that run in daylight on this section of the railway, so I had to settle for a simple shot of the part of the bridge that can be seen right at CR 73. No traffic came through while I was waiting, but of course, a nice yellow school bus decided to show up as the train crossed. |

After Saint Paris I had absolutely no idea where I was going and if I would even beat the train to the large grain elevator in Thackery. Thankfully I did by just seconds, and to my relief, the train had a couple cars to drop off at the elevator today, which made it easy to get some photos on the correct side for the sun. |

The LSL and WCH-B crews have a job safety briefing before the LSL crew is taxied back to Lima and the WCH-B crew connects the engines they brought up to their train and takes everything south. Not sure why they didnt taxi north from Washington Court House. I would assume there was a shortage of crew vans that day or something. |

The engines from the original WCH-B continue behind the original LSL power and head on southeast toward Washington Court House. A relatively easy chase and a great day trackside. Glad the fog lifted to bring out the nice sunshine later in the day. Didnt get the fall color I wanted but I think the BN Cascade Green matched all the green trees still! Hope to do this again soon! |
