I just got my last roll of film developed from December last year, when the family went to North Carolina for the holidays. Frigid cold, but not a flake of snow to be found. Anyway, Mom and Dad agreed to let me spend one morning railfanning out on the Loops.
It wasn't long before I found a loaded coal drag.
I hopped in the car and we caught it a couple miles further down the line:
And a little further downgrade, rounding the bend:
A few minutes later, and I caught it again at this bridge upstream from me:
One mile and 12 ounces of hot chocolate later:
As we neared town, I got this crossing shot:
On the other side of town now, I got another nice bridgeshot--only problem is that tree blocking my view of the lead unit (an SD70M-2) :/
And two more shots before we headed back home:
Coming:
And going:
As a postscript: I can't believe that there's one of George's routes that actually runs on my computer (even though it runs like a slideshow
).
