Finally
Title:  Finally
Description:  I had chased a northbound empty grain train from home, but with traffic being heavy at 4 PM, I was not able to get a lead on it. Fortunately for me, it was held at Dorsey for a southbound, which showed after a 30 minute wait, A KCS and BNSF GE leading 112 cars and a KCSM AC4400 south, seen here at Mt Olive Rd north of Dorsey siding.
