Going north
Title:  Going north
Description:  We chased the coal train down into Gentry, only to be stymied by 5 PM traffic. As I looked in hopes of catching a glimpse of the DPU on the coal train, and noticed there was a northbound in the siding. I ran up to Y City Road in hopes there would be enough sun to get a passable shot. It was hit and miss, but it sorta worked, with three units on this northbound 49 car M SHKC.
