R J Corman Railroad Co - Lexington KY 2019
We make occasional trips to Lexington for doctor visits. On the 09-26-2019 trip we had time to stop by CSX’s Patio Yard in Winchester KY. Before I got out of the car a w/b RJC loaded aluminum slab train blew through! I knew it would go through Lexington, so I headed for a spot where I knew there might be a shot. Avon was out of the question because I didn’t know how fast he was running. These shots were made as it crossed KY 4 aka New Circle Road. My family was urging me to leave as it was getting near appointment time. Luckily... Whew!!!
