Running lite back to Barr, this nicely painted Geep already has a blemish, and a rather large one at that! Look at those hood doors.... |

SD50 leads K654 |
Description: |
I heard the engine in the background as this guy called out a signal at Barr, so I knew this would be good. Rounding the corner into early morning light is the CSXT 8596 with a tank train in tow. |

Q368 |
Description: |
I was not all that thrilled to see BNSF power at Barr, but seeing a pair of warbonnets together is worthy of a shot, even If I would have rather shot CSX SD40-2's and C40-8's.... |

CSXT 8805 |
Description: |
Another SD40-2 appears for this foamer to shoot, this time the 8805. Later on I would shoot the 8804 at the Barr facilities, but I wont post that because of the yellow tubes obstructing the engines a bit. So I shot the 8803,8804, and 8805 in a span of less than 24 hours! Not bad! |

CSXT 4567 |
Description: |
Two YN2 MAC's in a row come off the C&EI at Dolton! Problem with this is that I wasn't expecting this guy to come off the C&EI and go onto the CSX. So, Im stuck with my 75-300mm lense, and had to make do with this shot. To make matters worse, one of the few repainted C40-8's was trailing, so I had to try to squeeze in a roster shot of that as well... |

A little too tight for my tastes, but I was as far back as I could be, and with 75mm being my lowest setting this is all I could pull off. |
