Stretchee out |
| Description: |
The northbound H train has pulled up past the yard office, its train stretched out down toward Bakery Feeds. Its only a 54 car train-with 7 units, though I think sohe of them are power balancing-but looks a lot longer as it glints in the late afternoon sun. |

Not ten minutes later |
| Description: |
After the short chase of the crude oil train, we resumed our northbound trek. As we came into Decatur, I noticed the gates down at a crossing on the south edge of town. I thought it was a malfunction, since the weather had been wreaking havoc with many things this week. Turned out it was not a glitch, it was the 262 train headed south with 282 axles. I caught him in a glint of sun at the detector at MP 218.4 behind an international mix of KCSM and CP power. |
