I know I am missing several scheduled trains. If I would have arrived 20 or so minutes earlier I would've caught trailer trains 22W and 20W. They must have been running early and of course they are running later than that the previous evening. Figures I miss 2 of my favorite trains. 22W showed up 9:31 Sat. night and I think 20W was right behind him. And there are several WB intermodals that I never saw either. 21Z shouldve been by sometime after 5pm, but it has a tendency to be late. 25K I saw at 9:48. But I never saw 21G or 23N. So that is 6 Intermodals that shoud've been by that weren't. There are a few freights too that I never saw - 30Q and 324 (they still run that?). I really didnt see as many coal trains as usual either.
I had an awesome time and will be heading back next weekend. The second crossing just east of the junction is closed right now. They are working on the tracks. It made for a wonderful night though, nice and peaceful.
And does anybody know exactly what is going on with all the trackwork there? New signals are in place everywhere, but not yet activated, including a new one on the siding track for WB's. They have new switches sitting alongside the tracks. Surely they will be doing some reconfiguring, but does anybody know what it will look like?
I know my notes are a little weird, but this is the stuff I like to record. Sorry, engine #s and models are too much to write down, and I currently have no cameras.
Well thats it everybody. Please comment and let me know what I am doing wrong.
) The ZNYCLAC train leaves late morning from Willow Springs and doesnt usually carry a whole lot of UPS trailers, certainly not the 70+ that I see on 21E.
