I had a feeling there was a 181 still out there somewhere, but had no indication where it was, and it had been mentioned only in passing on the radio. It was getting to be dinner time, and I had to stop at Wal Mart on the way, so figured I wouldnt see him. As I was heading south on Ark 59 to my house, I looked over at Lake Frances Rd to see the gates down. CRAP!! I did a quick U turn, hoping I was near the head end of the train. Luck was with me, and I not only was right behind the power, but made the light at Main St, allowing me to set up for this shot at Tahlequah St, putting an exclamation point on what had been a good afternoon at the races. A mixed set of power rolls north with 45 stack platforms and ten auto racks in tow. |
