March 25, 2017 – Great time shooting some night action with fellow railfans Ryan Scott and Dave Kunkle! We caught this empty Norfolk Southern coal train that tied down in Lyle Siding at Princeton, Indiana, waiting on a crew to take it on east on the NS Southern West district. A big shout out to Dave who was gracious enough to be our “grip” last night and use his hat to cover a bothersome light on one of the RR Boxes next to the crossing!
