An action-packed 4 hours on the Fort Wayne Line at the grade crossing east of Conway Yard. Featuring a CBFX ex-Burlington Northern SD60M and LTEX (ex-CSX) SD60I leasers, and much more, including two trains led by standard cab Geeps (one with a spectacular RS3L). All but the last train were caught using a new video tripod, as suggested by the forum.  

Train 1: Westbound grain (0:13)

NS SD70M-2 2751, NS C44-9W 9904, NS C44-9W 9581

Train 2: Eastbound unit trash train (1:54) NS C44-9W 9565, NS SD70ACU 7255. 

Train 3: Westbound intermodal (3:24) NS C44-9W 9443, CBFX (ex-BN) Triclops SD60M 6032

Train 4: Eastbound autoracks (3:48) An opposing meet with train 3. NS SD60E 7034, NS C44-9W 9164.

Train 5: Special move (4:48) This train had 5 4-axle units, of which I think only two were online, hauling two Southern gondolas and a 5-unit set of BNSF well cars westbound at restricted speed. Undoubtably the best catch of the day. The RS3L on the lead GP38-2 blew me away. NS GP38-2 5350, NS GP38-3 5801, NS RP-E4C 720, NS GP40-2 3036, NS GP38-2 5633.

Train 6: Eastbound mixed freight (6:48) NS ES44AC 8076, NS C44-9W 9548, NS C40-8W 8416 (likely dead-in-tow for PSR storage), NS GP40-2 3029 (likely dead-in-tow for PSR storage).

Train 7 (incorrect video caption): Local mixed freight (8:23) An almost-perfect meet. NS RP-E4C 715, NS GP40-2 3501, NS SD60I 6727.

Train 8: Westbound manifest. (9:59) This was a handheld quick shot grabbed on my way back from the gas station. NS C44-9W 9568, LTEX (ex-CSX, nee-Conrail), SD60I 8743.
