Fresh out of the paint shop at NRE (National Railway Equipment Co.) in Paducah, Ky, Paducah and Louisville’s engine 4522 sports a brand new UK paint scheme showing all the years that the University of Kentucky has won a NCAA National Championship. This is one of series of photographs I’ll be doing for P&L over the next few months. Thanks to P&L for allowing me to share it with you. – Tech Info: 1/800sec, f/7, ISO 140, Lens: Sigma 24-70 @ 24mm with a Nikon D800 shot and processed in RAW. - Jim Pearson

CSX Office Car Special Movement, CSX P901-11 by Bill Grady

Right - In a surprise CSX Office Car Special Movement, CSX P901-11 is running track speed(60mph) by the South End of Bonnieville, KY siding. The train left Louisville with officials on board headed for Birmingham. Departing at 0700, It was shot here at 0822 at milepost 67. One can only think that this is how the L&N would run the Hummingbird. The L&N would be hitting 90 mph here back then. 8/11/15 - Bill Grady

The Gulf Mobile & Ohio’s Rebel Pride is alive and well on the southern portion of the railroad near Montgomery, AL. Three former GM&O GP35’s, rebuilt by VMV Paducah in the 1990s for Burlington Northern, now work on GM&O track between Prattville, AL and Maplesville, AL. The trio is seen on the 4th of July 2015 at the headquarters of the line’s new owner, Autauga Northern, a subsidiary of Webb Asset Management Group. - Chris Dees
