This one was cool. I was set up to shoot Q332 09, which is the train on the right, when suddenly and unexpectedly J928 09, which is the train on the left, came into view passing up Q332 09. Once they got side by side, or close to it, I shot them both. It is rare that two trains would be heading the same direction at this location, both moving at the same time. Q332 runs from Rose Lake Yard near E. St. Louis, IL to Indianapolis Avon Yard, J928 is the local from Terre Haute to Rose Lake and back. CSXT 6300 began life in service for C&O, while CSXT 8155 started out on the L&N. 6-9-2006. http://n691lf.rrpicturearchives.net/default.aspx
