Western Railroad Discussion > This morning I played: This afternoon I clean

Rosie is returning home after 2 weeks in Scotland late this evening so I spent this morning trackside. I will spend this afternoon cleaning up my temporary "bachelor pad". I made a trip to N. Bergstrom on the UP Austin Sub. Not long after NB #22 came through, a NB autorack train pulled up and was holding the main waiting on a southbounder. At 10:37, MFWSA entered Bergstom siding.

After the manifest cleared Dittmar Rd. and stopped, the autoracks headed out. Eight minutes later, CEMEX loads came through and that closed out my morning.

As always, I appreciate y'all taking the time to have a look. Would have been better without the clouds but what can I say?

5. Cement loads with SD70AH's for power. What happened to the GE's that used to handle these chores?

Nice shots. I really like the composition in the first one. Hopefully the dishwater will be drained out of the sink when your wife walks in the door and you won't get caught still cleaning up.

Glad you could play one more morning Mike before the big clean-up, lol. I too like picture #1. Clouds or no clouds, it's always fun to be trackside.

Really nice photos.
