Meet at Thornton
I believe we have a northbound Amtrak Floridian on the main here, Louisville & Nashville, former Monon.
Don't know how long the siding is, but I imagine the southbound freight may have had to saw through the siding. The Passenger train will soon by rolling through the tiny burg of Peerless. I now realize that I must have climbed up the semaphore at the north end of the siding for this angle.

A Meet and a Pass
We’re along the Louisville & Nashville, former Monon. A northbound freight is in the hole at Thornton Siding for an Amtrak Floridian moving in each direction. The tiny burg of Peerless is here at the north end of the siding; all of this lies between Bedford and Bloomington, Indiana.
About the black unit, an Alco C420: obviously it’s in former SCL paint, but shows on the L&N roster as theirs. It was built for the Seaboard Air Line in 1965; this is at or near the time of the so-called Family Lines being formed.
