Bill Corum shot the UK and UL P&L units at McCoy Ave, Madisonville, KY. Friday, February 10, 2017 on CSX tracks heading to a P&L siding just south of the mall. The consist was all coal hopper cars. The UofL and UK engine numbers are the years they were National Basketball Champions.
This is one of 62 New York Central E8 diesel locomotives as seen by my wife and I at the National NYC Museum in Elkhart, In. recently. General Motors built 450 of these from 1949 to 1954. Each unit was powered by two V-12 Diesel engines and were rated at 2250 HP. Many of these passenger engines were re-geared for freight use as the needs of the railroads changed. Rich Hane
Here’s collection of photographs from our chapter’s 2016 modular display at Parkway Plaza Mall in Madisonville, Ky.
Our first outing for the O Scale Modular Layout was in Hopkinsville at The Polar Express Day, Carnegie Library. Chapter members Rich Hane, Bill Farrell, Blair Terry, and Ricky Bivins worked hard to make sure the display was ready to run!

Jim will be back after the first of the new year with more helpful information about rail photography. For now, enjoy a few more examples of his work below.
This is a larger reprint of a shot used in Jim Pearson’s photography column last month. I thought it deserved another and larger look. – Bill Thomas, Editor
As a follow up to our recent “NRHS BULLETIN”, Vol. 79, No.3 received in August which was totally about the building of the first transcontinental railroad From Omaha, Nebraska to Sacramento, Ca., I had just visited the site on July 30th. I encourage all members to visit if you are ever near the historic site. There is a nice new building and more to see there than I expected at this National Historic Site. I have enclosed a few photos. Respectfully submitted, Bill Corum
Ed. One more by Jim Pearson – can’t help but think about O. Winston Link seeing this. July 9, 2016 – LORAM Rail grinder RGS-9 waits in the siding at the north end of Robards, Ky as southbound loaded coal train CSX N040-05 passes it on CSX’s Henderson Subdivision. – Tech Info: 3 seconds | f/2.8 | ISO 125 | Lens: Nikon 18mm with a Nikon D800 shot and processed in RAW. – Photo by Jim Pearson (forgive me for cropping)
July 6, 2016 – Norfolk Southern Tier4 engine 3616 heads up a loaded coal train as it heads north on the Paducah and Louisville Railway cutting its way through steam rising from the roadbed after a summer rain outside Bremen, Ky. – Tech Info: 1/320 | f/6.3 | ISO 500 | Lens: Sigma 150-600 @ 600mm with a Nikon D800 shot and processed in RAW. – Photo by Jim Pearson
June 15, 2016 – I chased the leading edge of this storm front for about 20 miles till I finally caught CSX Q592-15 approaching the south end of the siding at Kelly, Ky as it headed north on the Henderson Subdivision. As dark and nasty as the sky looked, all it did was dump a lot of rain and create some lighting and fortunately for me it didn’t do it while I was shooting! – Tech Info: 1/400 | f/2.8 | ISO 900 | Lens: Nikon 18mm with a Nikon D800 shot and processed in RAW. – Photo by Jim Pearson
July 1, 2016 – Autorack CSX Q241-30 (Detroit, MI – Louisville, KY) makes its way through downtown La Grange, Ky (one of the few places in the state that has street running) as it heads south to Louisville, Ky on the Short Line (LCL Subdivision). – Tech Info: 1/400 | f/20 | ISO 900 | Lens: Sigma 150-600 @ 165mm with a Nikon D800 shot and processed in RAW. – Photo by Jim Pearson
