Sand south
Title:  Sand south
Description:  After meeting the UP train, the empty oil train still wasnt moving, so it seemed another meet was imminent. We headed toward Decatur to see if we could catch the southbound there, and saw him just south of town. This is the view at Y City Road as he drags over the top of the grade there at MP 219.

Back end of a meet
Title:  Back end of a meet
Description:  The sand train rolls through the home signals at South Gentry as the empty oil train starts to pull away, finally on the move after at least a 2 1/2 hour wait. The oil train had a CSX leader, not very common, and the original plan was to chase it north. The mid day light was awful, so I decided to chase the sand train. Things don't always work out the way you think they will.
