Caught him |
| Description: |
I heard a horn while I was working outside, and decided to give chase of a northbound. It turned out to be an empty TXUX train, with a pair of BNSF units on the rear. I caught him just south of Decatur, and set up for the shot passing the displayed F 7 at the station. |

Just caught him |
| Description: |
After we saw the light power move, we came out to take a ride in the sun, stopping at nearby Crystal Lake to do some bird watching and enjoy the 60 degree day. As we were heading back to Ark 59, we saw a southbound rolling past. A quick dash into Decatur got me ahead of the train, but just enough to jump and get a grab shot. So we have BNSF 6359 leading a 125 car TXUX train, and a nice shot of a light pole with an F unit behind it, |
