First encounter |
| Description: |
Wed just come back from Wal Mart, and in the process of unloading the weeks goodies, I heard a horn. I quickly got the stuff in the house and took off. Turned out what I thought was a northbound wasnt, but I sometimes dont catch up to them right away, since the northbounds are usually lighter trains, and can get a good roll on. So, I went to Decatur, hoping that was the case, and Id catch it. When I got to Decatur, the signal was lit green for a southbound. Ill take it. At least I didnt waste the trip. A KCS Belle leads 125 cars of grain south. |
