I took off south, to find the 262 train had arrived at Watts, and was holding the main. As I drove into town, I heard the detector at MP 238 go off. Crap, hell probably be here before I can catch him in good light. I was right, The head end was already coming up the siding, it was the 261 train, coming in with 80 cars, blocked by its southbound counterpart. Not that it mattered; the angle I had was the "dark" side for both trains. My only hope was the northbound would pull up past the end of the southbound, and I could get him north of the yard office. I lucked out on that one, getting the power just as it peeked out behind the 262, but its ridiculously backlit. Oh well....five minutes faster, Id have had a nicely lit shot near MP 237, south of the yard. |
