Yesterday evening at 6:05PM I saw CSX westbound intermodal train Q157 in Mentor Ohio lead by KCS Kansas City Southern ES44AC #4755 & KCS AC4400CW #4600.

Tom Jr. You are like our (the hobby's) man-on-the-scene, a roving reporter, of sorts, who gets us shots of the real deal. Nice. And cool.
I say that because here is what I gleaned from your photos, this time:
+ real-life coloration of ballast, for modeling reference.
+ real-life size of ballast, relative to the spacing among RR-ties.
+ excellent weathering examples, for those of us who would like to try weathering of some of our locomotives but have had no real-life references to use as guides.
+ coloration/weathering of rails.
+ interesting foliage to model around and near the tracks.
Thanks!
