Google Maps Railfanning Section (READ RULES!)

Unfortunately, this is the only really good shot of this train, it appears to have moved faster the the Google Car.

Or the Google folks called it a day and returned the next. I have noticed the same occurrence on several maps where the train vanishes!

Every time I storm chase in this region, we stay in a nearby hotel and I can hear the train horns all night. When we leave to go out chasing, or to eat at the Big Texan (the place with the 72oz steak, I watch the action when we cross over the yard. It's quite the place to watch trains, I can imagine.

Have you ever tried it or watched someone attempt it?

Also, most of the Three Rivers Rambler consist, excluding locomotive.

On more than one occasion when I've been there with the chasing team, we've seen people attempt the 72oz steak, however, none ever won. As you know, if they eat the whole meal which includes a shrimp cocktail, potato (your choice of preparation), salad, and side, then the person gets it for free. These were big guys, as in US football players, college jocks, and other big eaters. Usually, they ended up barfing and quitting. I sat far enough away not to see them produce the end-result, but close enough to see them attempt the meal.

Those MN units must belong to a serious railfan, abandoned tracks, caboose in the yard, and a train with two F7's without access to the main... lol

I feel like that one was a set up. Like some one saw the Google Earth car and was like "I'll just leave this here."
