Last month I came across intermodal train I115-21, as the train was being switched at DeWitt Yard by CSXT 920 and CSXT 280.

I115-21 was working on one of the two departure lead tracks that connect to main Track 1 of the Syracuse Terminal Subdivision (STS), at CP285 . The train, above, is just to the east of CP285, and the control point sits on the western edge of DeWitt Yard. In the background one of the large intermodal gantry cranes at the yard can be seen.

October 10, 2016. Little Rock, Arkansas. While out for a walk during our visit to Little Rock a few years ago, we saw these new bridge spans for the Broadway Bridge being constructed on barges floating in the Arkansas River. The barges are on the North Little Rock side of the river. If you look at the far left of the photograph you can see the old Broadway Bridge supports being demolished. Photo © Tom Gatermann

August 12, 2017. Adams, Tennessee. While I was driving along CSX's Henderson Subdivision, I spotted what looked to be construction work progressing on a new bridge span to cross the Red River. I'm not sure if this is for a double-tracking project or just a new replacement bridge. Photo © Tom Gatermann.
