One of the byproducts of making a trip last Saturday to inspect the progress of the new connection from the Chicago Line to the Cleveland District of Norfolk Southern was an opportunity to check out some new photo locations.
Last year when members of the Akron Railroad Club inspected the connection site during our day in Vermilion, no NS trains came through.
This year, though, we caught a small flurry of trains, two of them westbound, that we photographed at three locations.
In the top photograph, a string of JB Hunt containers approaches Risden Road near the Vermilion Country Club. This is the site where the new connection will join the Chicago Line.
The second photograph from the top features a westbound manifest freight approaching Poorman Road at milepost 225.
In the last two images, an eastbound intermodal train is rounding a curve by the Joppa Road crossing, which is at the apex of the curve.
