NS 4221 |
| Description: |
Today I decided to take a day trip down to the Whitewater Valley Railroad to shoot the Polar Express and Metamora Christmas trains for the first time. I havent shot any Whitewater Valley trains besides Thomas and the Caboose Train before, so I am looking forward to getting to explore the entire line! Since both excursions dont start until 5 PM, Ive decided to do some railfanning in Muncie to waste away the afternoon. Shortly after I left the house however I noticed NS 200 was cleared through, so I got down to Bluffton before attaching the flash and getting some shots of it racing north out of town. |

NS 7034 |
| Description: |
NSs OCS was bound for Cincinnati yesterday morning, and was supposed to run via Columbus. But due to a crew shortage, the train ended up spending the night in Bellevue, and was recrewed with a Bellevue-Fort Wayne crew early this morning, which meant it would be running to Cincinnati via the NCD. In all honesty, if it would not have been for the OCS, we probably would have went directly to the Chicago Line. But, even though it no longer features the F units, seeing the OCS is still pretty cool. We made it to Bluffton and grabbed it coming by the grain elevator at South Street. I do wish theyd give these SD60Es a different paint job at least. |

RMEX 5 |
| Description: |
I thought since I shot RMEX 4, and I would be taking State Road 1 all the way home, I might as well make a quick stop in Bluffton to grab a photo of its sister, RMEX 5. Both 4 and 5 served on the MAW for several years together before being shipped down to Connersville after Pioneer bought the MAW in 2013. The 4 was kept on the Connersville side of the line and was sandblasted while the 5 stayed on the New Castle side of the line and still had all its Santa Fe lettering in tact. In 2021, the 5 was sent to Bluffton to assist with CNUR 7 on the Craigville side to eliminate having to do a rolling switch when serving Lotter Farms there. After Midwest Rail acquired the Wabash Central earlier this year, this unit was included in the sale, and for now, will remain operating over the line. It will be interesting to see what happens to it in the future, however, as major maintenance projects are already beginning on the line, and I can only imagine if things begin to boom that they will be looking for more reliable motive power. The 4s future also is uncertain with rumors circulating that Midwest Rail may also be acquiring the Connersville Line after a new customer moves into the old Ford Plant in Connersville. With all that being said, however, I thought capping the day off seeing both ATSF GP7us was pretty cool! Definitely one of my best trips of the year! |

NS 4806 |
| Description: |
With adequate info enough to follow, I invited my buddy AJ from Dayton up north to my neck of the woods today to photograph the New Era Railroad. Midwest Rail recently purchased the Wabash Central off of RMW Ventures, and as of last November, the railroad has been undergoing some significant and much needed maintenance work and other restorations. Along with the change in ownership, the railroad also underwent a name change, now being called the "New Era" Railroad, signifying a "new era" for the former Cloverleaf. Despite all those changes, the motive power that the Wabash Central left behind is still currently being used on the railroad, and the railroad plans to continue to use the power until further notice. AJ got to my house fairly early and we began our day along NS around 8 AM. NS had some traffic to get through first. NS 262 crosses South Street with a AC44C6M just weeks out of the Wabtec facility in Texas on the front. |

CNUR 7 |
| Description: |
Our hope was that the train was bringing outbound cars back to NS from Warren today. However, the plan was to take inbound cars to Warren instead, which would have the engine running long hood forward, something that AJ despises. Despite that, he said he wanted to shoot the railroad too badly to not at least chase for a little bit. So, thats what we did. Around 10 AM, a crew arrived and grabbed their Warren cars, along with some cars they would be taking to 20/20 molded plastics to switch out in town before continuing west. The New Era had recently just taken in two WEPX storage trains a few weeks prior to when we went on this trip, so as the engine grabs its cars off the main at Bond Street, it is surrounded by coal cars. |

NS 4366 and NS 1169 |
| Description: |
NS 197 was coming into town as we came into town. NS 57A was looking to open up behind NS 197 at the ethanol plant, so we decided to kill two birds with one stone and grab both trains at the south lead to the ethanol plant at CR 250E. After this, we headed home and went our separate ways as AJ had college finals to complete the following morning. Id say he really enjoyed his first time chasing the New Era. As for me, I never tire of shooting my favorite short line! It was a great day! |
