Here's a few shots from the trip on Wednesday. The weather only cooperated for a few hours before the clouds and rain moved back in, but as is usually the case, a good time was had by all.

Twelve hours, 320 miles, a couple of hundred photo's, 15 or so trains, one worried BNSF employee who thought we were some sort of upper management team, several hot dogs, a few bags of assorted chips, several cans of beverages, a couple of wrong turns, one trip down a sidewalk, one trip over a curb, one joke about Fords, several hundred jokes about Chevy's, two bad cemetary jokes and a couple of new cornstalks pretty much describes the day.

I can only hope that you had as much fun chasing trains as we did.

Yesterday (Wed) was about the only day I worked this week. Sorry I couldn't tag along. Sidewalk, huh?

yea, sidewalk.... but there were vehicle tracks on it, I still think it was ok.

It was a good time best of all, I only had three repeats, the rest were all new beers..... so to speak.

I like the shot of 7609 with the tahoe in there, and the one where that one guy ruined the nose shot.

Sounds like a good time by all. That 6771 baretable sure looks familiar.
