Rolling them back |
| Description: |
A pair of gray AC44s roll 75 empty cars north a few miles south of Decatur. I worked for JB Hunt at the time, who is a big user of intermodal. All their rail partners have contributed models, which are displayed in the main lobby. The KCS model has this unit, 4592, leading a set of stack cars. Its painted in the Belle scheme. In a case of art not imitating life, the prototype, seen here, is still gray. |

Surprise |
| Description: |
I had heard a horn from the house, and took off for my usual quick ride to Westville. I was getting set up for the southbound I knew about, when I heard a train call the signal for Westville. Turned out to be the 181. The southbound was at Watts, waiting on this guy, who is now passing me going north, with a pair of KCSM GE"s leading 64 stack platforms, 6 autos and 27 articulated auto racks. |
