Well, time to stop being lazy and recap this wonderful Saturday.
First stop was the Shoreham intermodal facility. CP 183 was shoving back as I was biking towards 35th Ave bridge, so I chased it down to the entrance. Didnt get a shot of the NREX 8822, but still a good catch.

Backing bike to the bridge in a mildly mad mood (due to the fish that jumped the hook) I was greeted with something to lighten the mood.

After the KCK went by a train led by a GEVO, CSX Dash8W, and a BNSF B40-8W head out of town on the North Runner.

The pullout job did a wonderful job on scratching this shot.

After this, I heard the "special 599" call up the dispatcher for a route into Shoreham. Looking closer I see a Ferromex GEVO and a UP C40-8. After running into Nat and chatting for a bit, I head to the bridge for a somewhat decent shot. Lighting is never the way it should be, atleast today.

After getting absolutely NOTHING at Humboldt, I head back to the bridge at 35th Ave for a bit, and proved worth it. The following all happened in about 15 minutes total.

A pretty good day, the Ferromex and Conrails were the best, but the Tunnel Motor would have been up there too. Now, the weekend will be perfect if the Pack win!
