The chase continues
Title:  The chase continues
Description:  In an unusual twist, because I usually dont see a return trip, I caught the northbound empty move of the train I had seen the previous Saturday, now returning to the mine. The trailing unit, a CP GE, came off somewhere to the south, but the other four units stayed with the train. We had just finished breakfast in Gentry, when the train came through. We followed it up to just south of Decatur, getting it at a side road crossing south of town.
