CSX 8137         
Right after M361 cleared, we heard CSX Y129 call clear of Hawthorne Yard Limits on the other side of town. CSX Y129 utilizes a section of the belt that passes a pair of former NYC Semaphores that have been replaced with G-Head style trilight signals. While they are fixed as absolutes for both IU and Hawthorne, the signals are a few of a small handful of original signals left in Indianapolis, and I had always wanted to shoot something going by them. We were on the other side of town however and were a bit afriad that we might not get there in time. Thankfully we did, and I finally got a train passing these super unique signals. Definitely my favorite catch of the day!
