Canned
Title:  Canned
Description:  After the empty coal train passed, I saw this train pushed back into Government Lead with a pair of AC4400s, including 4600 in Belle paint, one of a very few of the old GEs to be repainted. Sometimes the out and back chase means the "back" part of it is a deadhead move, as it were. So it was today, but at least for the extra miles to McElhany, there was this train, so it wasnt totally a bust.

I was right after all
Title:  I was right after all
Description:  I had thought they might be holding back on a meet as one option for the long delay of the northbound oil trains arrival. Turned out I was right on that count as well. A southbound, possibly 262?? rolls down the siding as the oil train runs north on the main.

Almost back
Title:  Almost back
Description:  Now that I had spent almost 90 minutes on a 12 mile chase, I was back at Davidson Rd to shoot the southbound reaching the summit of the grade up from Sleepy Hollow. I beat him by about 3 minutes, since he had to take the south Gentry siding switch at 15 MPH. Not much lead, but enough to get set up before he showed.

Southbound
Title:  Southbound
Description:  The oil train met this southbound merchandiser. I now felt like the standing on a hot bridge was not such a waste of time after all. Power is a now common CP/KCS set.
