Another day, another local
Title:  Another day, another local
Description:  Actually, the same local, just in a different location. I caught todays dodger out of Watts at Davidson Rd north of Siloam in a spring like setting with the same power as yesterdays train. The power will be switched out over the weekend, when it goes to Heavener for servicing.
