BNSF 612 Warbonnet Unit |
| Description: |
Its nice to see an old ATSF Warbonnet C44-9W in Queensgate Yard, which is full of NS and CSX. However, the trailing units were 2 NS C40-9Ws. |

NS 5094 |
| Description: |
I was surprised to revisit an old Geep I saw traveling west in Tipton, IN back in August of 2005! The thing I remember best about this unit is its AWFUL P5. Only its two highest-pitched chimes were operational, so in 2005 when I heard this horn, I wasn't even sure if it was a train I was hearing. |

Former Semaphore Location? |
| Description: |
I found this and wondered if it was the former location of a semaphore for Nickel Plate Road or even Lake Erie and Western. |

Former N&W Crossing Signal |
| Description: |
This crossing signal still gets a lot of use in a day in Tipton, but no longer as a Norfolk and Western crossing signal. According to some old text written on the pole of the signal, it was originally ordered for the Berryman Pike crossing in Tipton by Norfolk and Western. The pole reads, "Norfolk and Western Rwy. Co." |

Ex-NKP Diamond |
| Description: |
Slightly north of the shown location is where the old NKP intersected with today's NS Frankfort District (also once a major NKP district). This was looking south at the Railroad Crossing (a local bar) and Faye's Northside Cafe. |

Ex-NKP Diamond North |
| Description: |
This grade crossing next to the station is the former location of the diamond, but if you look far enough to the north youll see where the line continues to go on north to Kokomo. The line derails to the north of here, not far north in the country, and the overgrown line continues to go northwest through Sharpsville and Oakford. Then it reaches a crossing on Highway 31 up in Kokomo, where it passes the old Chrysler factory, and yet again continues northwest and eventually splits off in Argos. From that point it goes into Michigan City. |

SP 4449 at the Festival |
| Description: |
As it becomes REALLY complicated to capture 4449 without people in front, I capture some close shots of the front. I didn't think I'd see 4449 for decades, or even my entire life! |

UP SD70Ms Over the Marion Branch |
| Description: |
I happened to run into Kevin Nelson today, and he was also taking pictures and videos of trains where the Huntington District runs over the Marion Branch. After NS 6706 and NS 2607 ran under the trestle which NS 9183 crossed, these two golden units led a short freight into Wabash. |
