It's a short chase, but, oh, goody!!
Title:  It's a short chase, but, oh, goody!!
Description:  We had gone out to Wal Mart late on Saturday afternoon. When we got up to Lake Frances Rd, I looked over to see a northbound coal train on the crossing, just cresting the hill from Watts. I could not see the power, but when we got up on the US 412 overpass, I could see it had not reached the crossing farther down on Lincoln. Maybe I can beat him. In a marvel of good timing, as we crossed the tracks, to the north was this soutbbound approaching. Oh, goody, I thought-a meet. This is the 262 approaching Lincoln Av crossing. The northbound was still sneaking up on us. That would be the real surprise.

The meet
Title:  The meet
Description:  The southbound 262 is on the crossing, just as the empty coal train reaches it on the siding, led by a CP heritage unit. Perfect timing and placement. If only there had been more sun!!
