Just a little too late
Title:  Just a little too late
Description:  I had started to head back for home, when I spied the 181 through the trees. I was out of position to get him at Noel, so chased to Ginger Blue for a shot on the bridge. Its not sun side this time of year, and I was only able to get a shadow side shot.

Waiting for a meet, and a surprise
Title:  Waiting for a meet, and a surprise
Description:  There was some chatter about a train to the north, at McElhany, and it seemed my coal train was going to be held here at Noel. When I got up into town, I found it sitting at the station, now city hall, with an unexpected companion, the Loram rail grinding train, which had been working on the line earlier in the week.

Waiting
Title:  Waiting
Description:  There was chatter about a train at MdElhany, the next siding to the north, and a power swap. It seemed the coal train would be sitting a bit. It was getting toward twilight, and I had dinner waiting, so time to head home. Still, three trains in a short afternoon chase aint too shabby.
