My main mission of the day wasn't railfanning, but to visit and do some errands in Lexington today.

On the way up this morning, I stopped at Lawrenceburg to check out the local power. I was less-than-thrilled to find a catfish C40-9W #9626.

Shortly after, I missed 22A. But I heard that he would meet 60A at Coal Chute. So, I took off east towards Harrodsburg, I settled downtown and awaited the train's arrival. Nothing too interesting powerwise with NS 7526, NS 9905 and NS 2607.

Coming home around Versailles, I heard that 224 was in Harrodsburg with BNSF 690 leading, I figured it was a Warbonnet. After consulting with EB, I was told the best lighting at that time of day would be around Waddy, so off I went. They would meet 111 there, I shot 224 first with BNSF 690 and NS 9150 leading.

Shortly after, 111 appeared with NS 9768, UP 9241, UP 9173 and NS 9011 up front.
