CFE 2098 |
| Description: |
Today my dad and I are going up to Northwest Indiana to do some railfanning in the region after we go to a model train show in Hobart, IN. Tomorrow we will go to the Great Midwest Train Show since we were unable to do so in October. The train show in Hobart was pretty nice! I got a N-Scale Chessie System GP9, unmotorized. Afterwards we began our railfanning in Northwest Indiana. Today we plan to go to Pine Jct for the first time. We have heard good things from other railfans around the surrounding areas so we hope to see lots of trains! First though we began our day in Hobart on the CFE. Luckily for us there was a train tied down for the weekend there! The area is under a Winter Storm Watch and there is probably about 6 inches of snow on the ground here now. |

Good morning from Lima, OH! I decided to take a gander to see if the IORY Lima B job which has been using the BN SD40-2 would go north today. But first, the day is just beginning on the CF&E. The LIFW is being built while other units sit and wait for their turn to move. |

CFE 2098 |
| Description: |
After sitting at the west end of Warsaw (Selby Siding) for about an hour and a half, the westbound crew arrived to take the westbound train toward Hobart. I missed some NS action while out here, one train which had NS 1074 on the head end which I didnt know about until after the CFE train left. After getting a track warrant from NSs Chicago Dispatch, the train prepares to leave and take off west. I had pitched for the one for one of the CP SD40-2's to be leading today, but of course it had to be trailing. Oh well, the sharp orange does look nice in this sunlight! |

After receiving the warrant, the train took off out of Selby and continued west. There have been off and on tiny rain showers all throughout today, and unfortunately I seemed to be caught in one at this moment. Not the perfect sunlight like the last shot. |

The conductor stayed behind at Selby to throw the switch back to the main. The train stopped momentarily in Atwood to let the conductor drive back up to the head end with a maintenance worker. After the conductor was on board, the train notched up and began their trip west to Hobart. |

The train was moving very quickly so I wasnt able to get it in a lot of spaces like I had assumed. I jumped straight for Etna Green where I waiting no more than 2 minutes and the train raced by me. |

The train had a speed restriction in Bourbon so they slowed down just a bit. I would assume the speed restriction was for recent trackwork, as the last time I saw a train go through here with my dad, they were rocking at every bit of track speed. |

By the time they hit Inwood the train was rolling at track speed again. Inwood is not the greatest shot for a westbound, but I will say its kind of unique. |

I was able to navigate the traffic in Plymouth just in time to reach the first of 4 PLs I would photograph the train against. The first being the diamond with the Elkhart and Western in Plymouth. Apparently the rumor is these signals are to be replaced with Conrail Style Trilights. A decent replacement, but not quite as unique. The southbound signal for the diamond (on the E&W) had already been replaced. CFE still has their PLs up while the northbound signal on the E&W is still an original NKP signal. |

Wasnt sure if I would be able to get to the distant signal in time. Fortunately I did with minutes to spare. I met fellow railfan Keith Burkey here and we chased the train west together. |

The train slowed down considerably once they hit Hamlet. I would assume it was for ongoing track work that had been taking place in this area for much of the Spring. |

Since the train was moving so slowly we had a considerable amount of time to reach Hanna. After about 20 minutes of waiting, the train slowly pounded across the diamond with the CKIN by the 3rd of 4 PLs I would photograph. |

The final signal was the distant signal for Hanna. At this point we basically had no daylight. Keith decided to call it quits but I figured I would try it at a couple more locations. I got what I came out for though. Nice to finally see a train passing these signals! |

CFE 2098 would serve as the second unit when the train would be put together and taken back up to Fort Wayne the next day. Tying the train down here has been a more common occurrence in the past year or so due to crew shortages. With that, AJ and I decided to call it a day and head for supper at Wings Etc. in Decatur. After supper we went back to my house and AJ went home. An extremely good day trackside with plenty of good catches and shots taken. I always enjoy showing people from out of town around my neck of the woods and the many things it has to offer for the railfan. A very good day had, until the next one! |

I decided that driving back south to the Indy Line wasnt worth my time so I decided to go into Lima and see what I could find. Low and behold things were all quiet there as well, but I did happen to see the tail end of the CFE Robb Yard transfer getting back onto their own tracks at NS Tower. I made it back to Cole Street Yard Limits just in time to get it passing underneath the distant signal with CSX in downtown. The original PL head has been replaced with this new trilight which has been up for a little over a year now. I was never fortunate enough to get a train under the PL, but at least they didnt replace it with a vader. |
