NS 1078
Title:  NS 1078
Description:  Today Nick and Ethan are beginning our big 2 Day Railfanning Trip on the NS and CSX Mainlines in Indiana and Ohio. Today we are going to follow the Waterlevel Route from New Carlisle, IN-Edgerton, OH hoping to catch a few South Shore trains in Lydick. This is the first time we have taken a 2 day trip together and we are hoping to catch plently of trains. The first train I caught all by myself. If it werent for construction work in town none of us would have seen this train. NS 1078 leads NS 26W east through New Carlisle to begin the day.

Title:  CSS 110
Description:  Next train didnt come too far behind, but this time it was on South Shore. We moved down to the small unincorporated village of Zeigler and barely caught South Shore 14 quickly heading west to Chicago. There was a nice spark on the wire about 20 seconds before the train hit the crossing that told us that there was something coming.

NS 9828
Title:  NS 9828
Description:  Next we moved over to Lydick where we spent a couple of hours while the thunderstorms continued to roll in. First up came NS 24M with a pair of Dash 9s. Sadly my camera focused on the raindrop that landed on the lense instead of the train.

AMTK 24
Title:  AMTK 24
Description:  After the CP train went by things started to pick up a tad. This next train was probably the reason there were no westbounds for the first hour. AMTK 49, the westbound Lake Shore Limited, zooms through Lydick with a pair of P42s.

CSS 109
Title:  CSS 109
Description:  Just as soon as NS 52Z cleared we heard our next South Shore train approaching so we rushed over to the South Shore tracks to get it. NS and South Shore parrallel each other between the outskirts of New Carlisle and South Bend closely so it was easy to move between the two. Sadly, the very high humidity caused my lense to begin to fog up which started happening right before this train came. South Shore 7 rockets east continuing its journey to the South Bend Airport.

NS 7566
Title:  NS 7566
Description:  Following close behind the South Shore train was NS 7566 leading NS 20N east. My lense really decided to fog up for this one. This would be the final train at Lydick before continuing east.

Title:  NS 9567, NS 3080, and NS 6142
Description:  Next we stopped on the west side of Elkhart to see what was happening on the west side of the yard. When we got there there was a NS manifest backing into the yard along side a slug set which was also backing into the yard, and a remote controlled SD40-2 also doing some switching work

NS 9922
Title:  NS 9922
Description:  Also sitting in the yard was NS 65T, preparing to continue west to Chicago. Would have liked to get it coming out of the yard underneath the NYC signals but the traffic was so heavy that we couldnt stay. Soon these signals will be doomed to the Darth Vader LEDs.

NS 7116
Title:  NS 7116
Description:  Next we heard a crackle on the scanner that local NS B19 wanted permission to back into the yard from the Grand Elk trackage. We raced over to the other side of the yard but most of the train had already crossed the street. We jumped out of the car and got what we could. Sadly, we didnt get any pictures of the N&W caboose that was on the rear

NS 7129
Title:  NS 7129
Description:  Next we went over to Goshen and sat in the Martins Supermarket parking lot to catch NS B23. Nick and Ethans patience levels were down to the nitty gritty because they were both so hungry. And I knew as soon as we left it probably was coming, and sure enough it did. So we had to work with this shot.

CP 8786
Title:  CP 8786
Description:  Next we moved over to the Elkhart County Fairgrounds Road and caught CP 140 again. The dispatcher told them that they would be a stop and go train all the way to Butler so this wasnt going to be the last time we would see them.

CP 8786
Title:  CP 8786
Description:  Next we got up to Millersburg before meeting up with CP 140 again. They stopped there because, to our suprise over on the other side of town, was a Sperry Railcar working its way towards us. We took some more photos of this train, but they got the clear to continue east so we crossed over to the other side so the Sperry car wouldnt be blocked out by the CP train. But then we learned that the only reason that the CP train continued on was because the Sperry Railcar had stopped to allow it to pass. This would be the final time we would see CP 140.

CN 2294
Title:  CN 2294
Description:  And from NS 21G came the chase of a lifetime. We had left the CP 395 signals and heard on the scanner the sound on a train calling signals. We figured it was NS 21G but we were wrong. It was eastbound NS 14Q with a CN leading. It had gotten in front of us at Wawaka. So to attempt to try to catch the train, which never slowed down below 50 MPH we chased the train from Ligonier to just east of Waterloo just barely beating it!

Title:  NS 9442
Description:  After NS 31M passed, NS 914, a loaded welded rail train, which was sitting parked at Delkalb Agra got a new crew and they asked for permission to come out of the spur and head west to Elkhart. But the engine was completely dead and they couldnt move the train. So the dispatcher was going to send an engine from Bryan to go pick it up and bring it west. Never have gotten a shot from this viewpoint!

Description:  We decided to chase NS 24W over to CP 354 where we expected it to stop again for NS 26N ahead. NS 20T got permission to leave as soon as we got there but, in our favor, NS 24W had to stop for both NS 26N, NS 20T, and NS 35N to come west. So we got out the cameras and started clicking away!
