I was right after all
Title:  I was right after all
Description:  I had thought they might be holding back on a meet as one option for the long delay of the northbound oil trains arrival. Turned out I was right on that count as well. A southbound, possibly 262?? rolls down the siding as the oil train runs north on the main.

Almost back
Title:  Almost back
Description:  Now that I had spent almost 90 minutes on a 12 mile chase, I was back at Davidson Rd to shoot the southbound reaching the summit of the grade up from Sleepy Hollow. I beat him by about 3 minutes, since he had to take the south Gentry siding switch at 15 MPH. Not much lead, but enough to get set up before he showed.

Southbound
Title:  Southbound
Description:  The oil train met this southbound merchandiser. I now felt like the standing on a hot bridge was not such a waste of time after all. Power is a now common CP/KCS set.

Front and back
Title:  Front and back
Description:  The head end of the southbound passes the rear of the oil train. The oil trains usually run with power on both ends. For some reason, this one has all four units up front. Hazardous material trains apparently dont need buffers any more, and Ive seen a number of these trains without them this year.
