Western Railroad Discussion > Pig Dance Saturday

Saturday in North Texas 02/25/17 was a stellar day with absolute awesome weather all day from sun up to sun down. I live about 20 minutes from KCS Wylie yard, and was making my way there when I heard the pig train having issues, and was departing an hour later then normal.  Decided to follow it to Denton and catch arriving at the BNSF Metro junction at Krum TX.  And yes I have a drone. DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus.
