The overpass at Nortonville is nice, but it's not a very wide bridge, and any time I wanted to stand on it and wait for a train, there'd be cars that would cross it. I had my video camera set up at one point, the train was about to show up, and a big ol' CSX truck decided to cross and that made things a bit interesting. Luckily the traffic cleared and I managed to catch the train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LC813-vw3s
Could you see if it isn't too much trouble if both the SD45's are there to the right, I saw them working a rock plant in commerce city, Denver CO. in 2007. They are painted like CNW -9's I think with cream instead of yellow. they are 2701 and 2801.
MRL, those NREX units are over in Mount Vernon, IL, which is a good 4 hour drive from where I live. I'm hoping to make it back to DuQuoin for the ARCA race on Labor Day weekend, I'm gonna try and ride by Mount Vernon's shops again. I'll try to remember those units for you.

Caught the Ringling Bros. / Barnum & Bailey Blue Unit Circus Train today. Weather kept me from chasing it across the Louisville District, but I still managed to follow it from Louisville to Lawrenceburg,KY before the rain came.

That shot in Covington, KY sure has interesting old buildings for a great background. All of them are good. You are having fun, aren't you. :tb-biggrin:
Yes, definitely a great set of photos! They are all so good that I cannot decide which my favorite is. Ben
