Track train surprise... |
| Description: |
So I'm in a Zoom meeting, and I get a phone call from my brother. He's sitting on the NS StL line with a yellow. I check ATCS, and see nothing...could be the local out there. He asks about that other line..you mean the BNSF Hannibal sub? "Yeah". I see something at Old Monroe, tell him to go to Hwy C crossing. Get's there, sees double red. Tell him to hang on. Shortly, this arrives. His parting comment - "Wish you were here"!!!!! |

Had a yellow at the Gibb siding, so knew a meet was coming. While waiting for the train in the car, the warmth of the sun thru the window got the best of me. Wanted to shoot from the sunny side. But the crossing signals woke me with just enough time to get out of the car for this photo! First of 3 trains here. |

LTEX units.......ex CSX |
| Description: |
These units appeared on the VR Grab Bag for 9-4. We caught them at Baring. Per this website (https://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/Texas_North_Western_Railway) they had been working at the Texas North Western Railway. If you have additional info on them, let me know. Both units are new to RRPA in the LTEX flavor. |
