Spring has sprung!..

...from the fresh air smell... to the mud that sticks to your tires and to your shoes... to the better weather and longer days, spring is here!

I swung by numerous locations I like to frequent and even met up with MRM at University where the clouds seemed to thicken. There were numerous movements including a rail grinder. I made a few trips to Pig's Eye today, once in the morning, afternoon and again in the evening.

ILSX 320 was in the Belt Yard today. Is this unit finally going to be shipped to TRF for a repaint that was discussed in the TCR forums earlier?

There were numerous trains heading into Northtown but with the cloud cover and backlighting the shots didn't turn out all that great.

Anybody know where that SW1 is headed? Or was it just sitting there until someone put it back over by the terminal again?
