I'll have to look through my slides and dig up shots of the original TTIS RS-3M's that were power for the line when I worked for them.
That always was a sharpe looking railroad..
Before the "great" Bucyrus flood I had several pictures of their blue and gray U28Bs units as well as their Baldwin VO 1000 switcher working at Maysville*..They also had a low nose RS3m..Among those pictures was the delivery of P&LE U28Bs...
Thanks for sharing your pictures..

TTI is not very rail fan friendly these days, although the train crew and the cute little blond dispatcher were very nice to us yesterday. As far as I know, there is no such thing as signing a release these days. You never, but never try to go on to the property at the terminal in Maysville, but they won't bother you in Paris as long as you don't try to go on to their fenced in property. All this is the result of them having an open house a couple of years back and then having some of their property stolen. Personally, I'd bet money that rail fans had nothing to do with it, but rather locals. But I suppose it's easier to blame the rail fan community than to find the real culprit's. Since TTI is now owned by CSXT, that also has some bearing on it too.
I had intended to make at least one video of the whole train passing at some point, but we just never managed to get far enough ahead of them to set up the tripod, etc. Might try and follow another train in the fall, when the leaves are in color.

Ed,Sorry to hear that..TTI was friendly back in the mid 80's except for the Maysville terminal.I will add the guy was nice and allowed me to take a picture of the 9 spot when it pulled back toward the main gate area..
