Another breakfast trip |
| Description: |
I had sent down to a local place for bagels, and was on my way to pick them up. As I passed Lake Frances Rd, I saw this train on the crossing. A little hustle, and making the one traffic light on the way, and I was able to catch him at the team track just south of Lincoln Av. Hess approaching some MOW equipment on the spur there as he heads north with 100 empty sand hoppers. |

Passing the team track |
| Description: |
The head end has now reached me with an eclectic consist, and is passing the MOW equipment, which partly blocks the shot, but its also an important part of the operation. |

| Title: |
Caught him |
| Description: |
The head end of the empty coal train rolls around the curve to the signal at CP South Watts, where it will meet the southbound grain train I heard from the house. Had to really run for this one. Sometimes an inspired engineer and a light(relatively speaking) train can be a challenge for the chaser!! |

For the first-and only-time in this chase, I shoot the DPU, a mix of BNSF and KCS power. |
