CF&E Action/Short Line Action.

[FCIN]

Continuing with RJ Corman working the Bloomfield Branch in Shelbyville, KY...
After getting clearance from the NS Louisville Dispatcher and timing off the lock on the crossing gate, lining the derail and opening the gate, we start shoving over the NS.         Coming in to downtown Shebyville, the track runs down 11th Street and Mark is walking ahead of the train to flag the busy US 60 crossing. US 60 has two lanes eastbound and two lanes westbound about a block apart and there are no crossing flashers or even crossbucks on the westbound lanes. Needless to say, you're taking a chance when you try and get motorists to stop for the train.     Still on 11th Street, 7709 shoves the empty covered hopper toward the westbound lanes of US 60.     Here's a shot looking north as 7709 shoves across westbound US 60.
