| I had gone out to see the CPKC Holiday Train, the original plan was to pick it up at Noel, then follow it south til the light went. I got distracted along the way, first by a southbound grain move almost as soon as I left the house, then when I got to Decatur and the southbound signal was green at Roller Av. I decided to wait there, instead of working against the train, rather than risk missing it. Turned out the signal was for a southbound grain move that was working Georges Farms just to the north, and the Holiday Train was delayed at McElhany due to an incident requiring police involvement, and would be released around 1630. At 1715, it finally showed here, passing the stuffed and mounted F 7 here, also adorned with lights. |
