Just got back from our family vacation in Florida, part of which was spent at my parent's place in Deerfield Beach. Just down the road is both the FEC and CSX/TriRail lines. One night on my way back from shooting the FEC, I found a CSX manifest freight (well, it was 2am when I took it, so I guess...

Well its been a while since I've been around so I figured I would pop back up on the radar. Yesterday a friend and myself went out to Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line to shoot during the blizzard. As the day went on, the storm got worse. Here are a few highlights.. 1. NS 652 with a pair of...
