Thanks Jan! The GG1 is a cool looking locomotive, very streamlined for 1942. The museum needs to do a little dusting on it though. Looks kina like the planes on my display shelves. Here's another shot of it along with the info sign that was hanging on it.

I spent about three hours yesterday waiting for a train to come through on the north end of the Sandy Ridge Tunnel on the Old Clinchfield Line and it paid off. I got this string of shots. I know I didn't get the 3/4 of the engines but with where I had to stand and the 75/300mm lens this was the best I could do.

Please enjoy.

Thank you Syscom. I probably got to many shots with it still in the tunnel but, oh well.

There was a collision between a car and a train today in town. It happened where the N&S crosses Pecan Street. A young woman was crossing the tracks in a Volvo sedan when she noticed a train was approach. I do not believe that the train had triggered the gate yet for it knocked the car back through the gate dislocating it somewhat. When the woman noticed the train she froze, the gate set down behind her and the train struck the very front of the vehicle shoving it across the road and into a bunch of guide wires for a telephone pole. The woman suffered a broken finger and ankle from what I could gather. The engineer stopped the train in less than a 500 yards. They come through town at about 45 mph. The train was hauling containers.
