Norfolk Southern In Goshen Indiana
I know this is very far from the most photogenic spot with all the cars and signage in the way but I love sitting here. The Marion branch that the last train is coming off of makes this spot so interesting. It is a special treat when you catch one coming down the branch and then another to fly by on the main, sometimes even 2 on the mains, though rare. It happens often but I was unable to capture it on camera because it was either dark or raining.

Amtraks Hoosier State runs through Lowell with engine 70.

Then to make things worse I got home I just then heard that they have been sitting at the other end of town for about 10 mins. The train went by so fast I ...
