Q train surprise |
Description: |
The dodger got his train put in the yard, and the Q train was having an issue with his lead unit. I went south a half mile or so to get him on the big curve near MP 237. As he came around, the second unit caught my eye: KCS 4006, the Support the Troops engine. |

Fifth in the consist of eight was the Veterans unit, which I did not expect. It had been here twice in recent weeks, both times in darkness. Would have been better leading, but you cant have everything. |
