Chase over
Title:  Chase over
Description:  My joy at finally getting a train led by an ET44AH was short lived. I ran into Baron, thinking Id get this across the field shot, which I had done last week with the DPU on a northbound coal train. I pulled onto the shoulder to get out of the way, then realized I wanted to move back about 20 feet to frame the shot better. What I didnt see was the stub post from a road sign-ironically, probably a grade crossing sign that was moved-that was sticking about six inches up from the ground, and not visible from the car. I backed over it, blowing out my right rear tire. This was the only shot I had, and the last one Id get. Someday.....

Finally 5000s
Title:  Finally 5000s
Description:  The ET44AHs have been running for almost two years, but they seem to elude me. Except for some sporadic shots, I have not really seen them. So it was a happy moment when this southbound M train came into view at Westville, passing the HJ Baker feed mill.
