The next action was a north bound empty unit coal train at Broadway Street in Muskogee, OK on June 12, 2012. |
I then moved over to Okmulgee Street to get shots of the DPU. |
This road consist is first seen through the Court Street overpass before it moves down toward Broadway Street crossing on June 12, 2012. |
This train was sitting on the mainline at the South 28th Street crossing at the east end of the Van Buren, AR yard on Aug. 2, 2011. |
This southbound freight is seen approaching the Main Street crossing in Van Buren, AR on May 3, 2012. |
Between the shots of the sun and the train, I had to change the camera settings from ISO 100 at 1/4000 sec to ISO 1600 at 1/100 sec. At home on my computer, I then had to PhotoShop all of these images, including enhancing the shadows of the train shots. |
When I got to Memphis, I decided to spend some time at the Kansas Ave Hot Spot. My first train was this stack/bare-table train with 5-units, only the lead unit was running on May 21, 2012. |
