Seemed to be fewer this year than in years past, actually...but then again, you have nothing really to go by unless you've been out there every year since 2006.

Still a surpising but--looking back at M-37 from the bank near the elevator, it appeared as though there were at least 20 railfans there. there was also a sizable group behind (sorry) me.

There were many more in years past. I think the novelty for this train has worn off for many railfans. I'll continue to get pics every year when I can, though. Still many spots along the line where I want shots.

I'd still be chasing if it weren't for the little guy that I bring with...ohs well, maybe in a couple years he'll ride along for the chase :)
