An example of some of the challenges of through-the-windshield photography.
The At Grade railroad crossing ahead is R.J. Corman Railroad's Memphis Line, a 113 mile former L&N line between Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Cumberland City, Tennessee.
Purchased from Seaboard Coast Line in 1987, it includes a twelve mile branch line that runs north from Russellville, Kentucky, to the Logan Aluminum rolling mill near Lewisburg.
From here East to CSX Memphis Junction in Bowling Green = 15.4 miles.
From here West and South to Cumberland City, Tennessee = 68.8 miles.
Grain is the major freight on this line.
The truck in the distance is owned by MSR Transport Services of Monroe, Ohio, pulling a MAC Tri-axle Flatbed with FasTrak Conestoga Rolling Tarp.
To anyone who has ever fought with trying to tarp a loaded semi trailer, these Rolling Tarp trailers are a blessing; once the cargo is loaded and strapped, you just pull the accordian-like curtain to the rear, secure it, and your load is tarped.
There are also Curtain Side trailers that have a rigid roof and rear door structure and roll-up curtains on the sides.
This photo was taken from inside a vehicle through a window covered in bug guts, road film, reflections, and glare.
