Some more puddles from the morning rain gave us some interesting perspectives. The shots were a bit tight here, but I cant say Ive gotten shots like this of the bridge before! |

IBCX 4618 |
| Description: |
L421 had more cars to pick up from Saunders Siding on the west side of town, and with the Indianapolis Subdivision being controlled by EC-1s, the CVNR had to wait for L421 to depart Connersville before getting permission into the yard. An hour later, the local finally left, and the CVNR crossed the Western Avenue bridge on CSX rails bound for the yard and their pickup. |

IBCX 4618 |
| Description: |
I wanted to do a telesmash of the engines with the Saint Gabriel Catholic Church steeple as the backdrop. That ended up not working out the way I had hoped, which unfortunately made us miss the engines climbing the steep curved hill up to the interchange with CSX. I didnt anticipate them to go up the hill right away, so I assumed we would get both. I was wrong. But, we did get a shot of the engines crossing Western Avenue, even if it wasnt that great of a shot. |

RMEX 4 |
| Description: |
I was hoping to grab L421 on the bridge over Western Avenue, but we struck a friendly conversation with the CSX MTO at Connersville, and it departed during our chat. After chatting, I got a text from the conductor on the CVNR that they were headed up toward the interchange with the RMEX 4 and one of the Camp Chase GP9RMs. The RMEX 4 is the ex-MAW 4, a GP7u still wearing its ATSF bluebonnet scheme, and is currently the only operating locomotive on the CVNR. However, since the consist was a bit heavy to bring back, and the interchange between the CVNR and CSX is a bit steep, they needed a little extra weight, so one of the project units was added, which would make an already eye-popping consist even more mind blowing. We worked over to the CVNR, and sure enough the two units were slowly making their way toward the interchange. We grabbed our first shot at 18th Street. |

IBCX 3488 |
| Description: |
After setting off the final cut of their outbound train, the L421 drags the IBCX power back up to the switch and shoves the engines back into the yard where they would sit for the CVNR to come grab them a bit later. |

IBCX 3488 |

Then lastly, the 3488. The "BN unit" as it was called to railfans, hung around Lima for most of 2021 and the early part of 2022. I never made enough attempts to see it as I should have. I wish I would have tried a little harder with this one like I did with the OHCR power. But, its too late now. |

IBCX 4030 |
| Description: |
With the OHCR being so far away from home I never made any attempts to shoot the railroad while it was still a majority maroon. However, since the 4030 and its sister 4023 hung around here so often, I made numerous crazy attempts to shoot them both as many times as possible (most of which failed). This is hands down one of my top 3 favorite paint schemes. Its sad that this units days are over. But, Im glad I got the shots I did. |

IBCX 3494 |
| Description: |
By the time we made it back to CSX, L421 was on the west end of the yard again and had built most of their train for Morristown. However, there were still some cars to dig out of the L425 consist, and getting those required moving the IBCX engines, which gave us our first chance of the day seeing them up close. I botched by shot of the Dash 8 this time, so I opted to just keep my rosters of the IBCX engines. This one was my favorite of the G&W painted IORY SD40-2s on the roster. |

MILW 532 |
| Description: |
With L421 now on the other end of the yard for a bit, we knew we had a bit of a time gap before they would come back and finish their work on the west end before departing. Along with the CSX and CVNR moves planned that day, the Whitewater Valley also had a 1000 departure out of Grand Central Station for Metamora. I had assumed one of the Limas was the planned power for the day, but when we heard "532" over the radio, it was an immediate move over to downtown. Sure enough, the MILW SD9 was in charge of the southbound train today. Despite being still covered in oil, seeing the only operating MILW SD9 still in MILW orange is always a treat! |
