Paducah and Louisville Railways' (PAL) newly painted 35th Anniversary engines 1986 and 2021, work in the yard on July 6th, 2022, at Paducah, Kentucky. The two engines have been painted in the original PAL paint scheme from 1986 and were in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Paducah and Louisville Railway. Currently these two engines are only seeing yard service at Paducah while they are put through their paces before taking to the road, which I’m told they will do before long.

I had hoped for a better side view so you can see both engines, but PAL doesn’t allow drones over their yard without permission now and the engines didn’t come south through the yard enough for a good side view shot. I hope to have some better images by next week, as PAL has asked me to come to the yard and photograph them for their PR department. Stay tuned!

Tech Info: Nikon D800, RAW, Sigma 150-600 @ 500mm, f/6, 1/1000, ISO 560.
