October 17th 2010
On Sunday October 17th, we decided to head towards Natural Bridge. I was sure glad I made the choice! First off we intercept 22A on our way toward Roanoke near Shawsville. Here 22A is pictured climbing hard up Christiansburg mountain with a monster stack train.
We next make our way into Roanoke. We hear 202 preparing to head North, so we set up in Troutville to wait.While waiting, I take a quick picture of the Kinsey signals.
After about 30 minutes, 202 grinds North with a pair of C40-9W's doing the honers. 202 was down to 15mph grinding up the hill.
Next we barely beat 202 to a location about 2 miles North from my last location in Troutville.
We shoot 202 one last time in Arcadia. This is my favorite shots of 202.
We next head back to the Christiansburg District. We intercept 16T at Eliston with three NS locomotives.
We photograph 37Q at Shawsville with two old EMD's trailing. The EMD's really sounded good as they pulled the hill.
I get one last shot of 37Q blasting out of Montgomery Tunnel.
We photograph 769 at Christiansburg next.
I finish up this great day of shooting with a pan shot.

Fall color in Indian Valley,VA
Here are a few photos I have taken around Indian Valley in the past week. The color is really beginning to take off. I will also attach a few portrait photos that I have done over the weekend.

October 3 2010
I was not planning on railfanning this day,but while we were in Christiansburg. I heard "63N clear Mile Post 285.2" and I knew that 63N would be arriving in Ellet valley shortly. The first thing that came to my mind was"CN power". So we headed to Northfork and waited for 63N to arrive. After about 30 minutes of waiting. 63N came into range. When he came around the curve.It didn't have the power I was hoping for,but the train did make a nice shot. All in all I was pleased with how my shot came out in low light conditions.
