CN 5439 |
| Description: |
CN 5439 gets back underway after having met Amtrak a few minutes prior. At the time of this photo CN had recently purchased many GMTX SD60's that were once part of the Oakway lease fleet that spent many years on lease exclusively to Burlington Northern and used mainly in the Powder River Basin lugging coal trains though some would occasionally break free into intermodal and manifest freight service. In its new CN paint the 5439 seems right at home lugging a slop freight through the flat Mississippi Delta. |

CN 5465 |
| Description: |
Busted & Broken hangs out at Money, MS While not the most glamorous image it’s a reminder of what railroaders worst nightmares are made of. While a railfan can sit around wanting if not demanding trains, worrying over what’s leading and how many shots they can get, those who make a living where railfans invite themselves upon have far deeper responsibilities and concerns. Few in the railfan community appreciate or un.derstand what these men and women are up against. It may be being called for a run that gets put into a siding because it’s a lowly local resulting in them dying out on hours of service without turning a wheel in a seemingly losing battle to get over the road and accomplish something never mind them baking in a unit with no a/c, hows their train going to handle in a sharp curve as the terrain ascends and descends, distant and disinterested management, worn out power, a failing PTC system that mocks all reason, a crossing well known for chance taking motorist, trespassing fisherman on a trestle that they bare down on in a curve with little notice to get stopped in time, struggling to see a signal in heavy rain or fog, a walking inspection of an 11,000’ freight designated as a Key Train from head to tail then back up to head in hot humid conditions on ballast dealing with mosquitoes and snakes, what short sighted moron they get paired up with for a run or hanging on the side of a RBOX boxcar at 3:36am in a freezing rain. Then there’s this. Everyone wants to be a part of the action or is an expert until this happens. |

CN 8873 |
| Description: |
CN 8873 leads a northbound freight through Glendora, MS. Glendora is noteworthy but unfortunately for sad reasons. Only a couple minutes walk from this location is where Emmett Till was murdered in August 1955. What was even worse was that those who had his blood on their hands were acquitted by a jury and later confessed to having indeed taken the young Chicago boys life. |

A former Soo Line SD60 ushers CN G888 through Wyatt, MS. Just seconds prior to its arrival a thunderstorm began to drench the area and it was questionable if I’d get the shot at all. To the left what looks like a clear flat plain isn’t, just beyond the row of telephone poles is a very heavy rain causing all things behind it to disappear. |

CN U700 with EJ&E 3023 zips through Glendora, MS. There isn't much to Glendora but 65 years prior it was part of the epicenter of the American civil rights movement as this is this the location where Emmett Till was murdered. So in the historical sense the small dot on the map has more meaning than meets the eye. |

CN 8823 |
| Description: |
One of my perverse pleasures in this hobby is pacing alongside a train at speed. Watching the lead locomotives bounce and sway with prime movers burbling, dynamics and traction motors whining with bearing caps on dancing trucks spinning like mad. In this view here at Phillip, MS, the road and rail dove tail one another before coming in for close paralleling and ahead lies nothing less than 10 miles of mostly unobstructed chasing in hand to hand combat with one another. No stop signs, to red lights, no speed traps or school buses. Just the sweet music of GE’s and EMD’s doing their dance as the engineer lets the ladies stretch their legs. It’s literal romance. A dance not to be missed. In this view I draw in on CN Q-194’s flank as it heads south down CN’s Yazoo Sun while I close in alongside MS County Rd 518. Ahead are smooth 60mph running for the CN crew while I’ll be bounced along in my seat on the 518 but so worth it again to experience. |
